Sim Card Protection; Using Multiple Sim Cards - Sony Xperia XA Ultra F3212 User Manual

SIM Card Protection

You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN (Personal
Identification Number). When a SIM card is locked, the subscription linked to the card is
protected against misuse, meaning you have to enter a PIN every time you start your
device.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly too many times, your SIM card will get blocked. You then
need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and a new PIN. Your PIN and PUK
are supplied by your service provider.

Using Multiple SIM Cards

Your device works with either one or two SIM cards inserted. You get incoming
communication to both SIM cards and you can select which number you want to place
outgoing communication from. Before you can use both SIM cards, you need to enable
them and select which SIM card will handle data traffic.
You can forward calls that come in on SIM card 1 to SIM card 2 when SIM card 1 is
unreachable, and vice versa. This function is called Dual SIM reachability. You must
enable it manually. See
