TCL TAB 8 NXTPAPER 5G
Enable / Disable / Modify SIM PIN

Enabling a SIM PIN extra security to your TAB 8 NXTPAPER 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 TAB 8 NXTPAPER 5G 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).
