The ability to unlock the SIM is already available in the network indicator, and a SIM with a lock icon is displayed.. Just to clarify the point about each app needing its own support for this, that is already not the case. So you are saying we want to also expose this functionality in settings
Note that currently when the user wants to disable the SIM pin or change it, we prompt once for the current PIN and unlock as needed for those actions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378883 Title: [SIM PIN] System Settings missing SIM unlock Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Fix Committed Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Build r91 1. set up a SIM PIN or make sure the inserted SIM has already a set up SIM PIN (reboot device if needed) 2. after reboot, don't unlock 3. navigate to System Settings > Security & Privacy > SIM PIN What you see: A green tick on the toggle next to the SIM PIN and beneath that a "Change PIN..." button What you should see: Some way to unlock the SIM without turning off the SIM PIN. There are three relevant states for a SIM: (A) no SIM PIN set (B) SIM PIN set, SIM locked (C) SIM PIN set, SIM unlocked. If a SIM PIN is set, when you start up the phone you have the choice to unlock it (switch from B to C) or not (stay on B). If you don't unlock it, you can't make or receive calls, send or receive SMS, or use cellular data in any app. And you probably can't predict ahead of time whether you'll want to do any of those things. Currently System Settings only lets you turn the SIM PIN on (A to C) or off (C to A), not to unlock it. It's not reasonable to expect every app, that might use cellular data, to provide its own access point for unlocking the SIM. Therefore, System Settings should let you do this too. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#sim-pin>: "Whenever it is locked, at the trailing end should be an 'Unlock…' button..."
