This PIN is your SIM-PIN equal to that one you use for your mobile phone. Without PIN everyone can take your SIM-card, put it into his/her phone and use it. It may even be possible that one can use it to make phone calls. After you enter 3 false PINs your card gets locked and you have to unlock it by a super-PIN. So, if you decide to use your card without PIN and loose it. The finder will be overjoyed to get a PIN-less SIM and use it on your cost. I thought more about reading the PIN or its hash with a modified card reader but since I could not find any information about that, it might not be possible. In fact I'm not concerned about the actual use by some thiefs. It's a flat rate, phone calls should be impossible and SMS should still be protected by a second PIN. Furthermore I can lock the SIM as soon as I realize its theft. However, now that I think about it I'm worried that they could use the SIM for illegal activities and since I can be hold responsible if my unprotected WLAN is used for spamming, frauds, etc. it might be necessary to protect my SIM as well. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
