Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G
Enable / Disable / Modify SIM PIN

Enabling a SIM PIN provides extra security to your Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G, helping to prevent unauthorized use and protect your personal info if your device is misplaced or stolen.

Before you begin

If using a physical SIM, ensure a SIM card is properly inserted.
Enabling the SIM PIN locks the SIM card in your device so it can't be used until the correct code is entered.
If the incorrect PIN code is entered too many times, refer to My Verizon Website - Locate the SIM PIN / PUK to obtain a new PIN Unblocking Key (PUK).
