My recommendation is that we should bring up the SIM PIN unlock screen if user tries to launch the DIALER and MESSAGING apps. This can be done additionally to the indicator access. This way a user will know instantly that there is no access to this apps without unlocking the SIM. For the browser it might be a little different though. If the device is on WIFI the browser still can be used, if not it will require to unlock the SIM again in order to user mobile data...

Popup SIM PIN unlock interface after power on device 4. cancel this dialog 5. Go to phone app to make a call It is not obvious that the next step should be to drag down the indicator and use the unlock button. the phone and messaging apps should have a shorthand button clearly visible to unlock the relevant SIM so that the user does not have to "know" to go to the indicator-network first to be able to make phonecalls or send SMS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1362150/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : unity-api-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
