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.

I actually didn't have any hold time. I called 1 (800) 331-0500. When the automated voice came on and asked what it could help me with, I said, "Get a PUK code." The voice said, I can help you with a SIM card, please hold. And it transferred me to the rep who gave me the codes.
once you have the PUK, Pin Unlock Key
there are procedures to follow to unlock and protect your SIM
slightly different IF your Sim is not in the mobley and not locked
for locked sims
insert into an UNlocked att compatible phone
enter any random wrong PIN code 3 or 4 tries
NO more
it should ask you for a PUK to let you set a NEW PIN
use that menu to enter your PUK you got from ATT
set a new PIN of your choice for accessing the SIM
you can now remove the SIM and put in any device and use that new PIN you created for device access
Thanks for this post. After having changed my SIM PIN I then got a new SIM and the update locked it and I couldn’t move it to my new Netgear 1120. These instructions worked perfectly.
