Mobley to Unite SIM PIN Locked
Went and moved my SIM from my Mobley to my Unite and get a message that the SIM is PIN locked. Had a notice to enter a PIN. The end of SIM swapping? I never had this before, it just worked.

Yes, someone In the thread I linked to, did that
But used an AT&T phone to do it
It appears that the Mobley update only changes the SIM pin, on those that have the default 1111 pin lock code
I can't do that with my Netgear explore, it does not have a SIM menu
It seems a good pre-emptive measure, in case the Mobley had to be used for some reason
On the Netgear Unite 770s, the SIM lock code can be changed by going to "Settings", "Mobile Broadband", and clicking on "SIM Security". Click on "Activate" and enter the default lock code "1111". You'll now be able to change the code. After the change, disable SIM security again so you won't have to enter the code every time you boot up the hotspot. I don't know if the Unite Explore has the same management setup...
