Watchdog: Set up a sim pin

[L_W_Ward]

Just been watching Watchdog who explain that people steal your phone, take the sim out and put it in other phones to call premium rate numbers. Don't just set a phone lock, set a sim lock!!  Before you do this please remember it will ask for a default sim ppin number (IT ISN'T YOUR LOCK SCREEN PIN NUMBER)

EDIT 1:
For people about to do this! According to MI5, confirmed by myself via O2 online chat but credit goes to this MI5 the default SIM PIN for O2 is 0000 for anyone else reading this and trying to set up a PIN lock on your sim card.

Edit 2:

For people who have blocked their phones MI5 explains that if you need a PUK code it can be found on your MYO2 page http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2

You can also use online chat when they are not busy. They currently are, wonder why. 

Edit 3: 

When you do activate the sim pin lock do remember to change the pin or else whats the point.

Sadly not me bud. Would it be the same as any other Android? Also try Youtube?

Just type your code into the box....
Restart the phone if you've lost the input screen and it should pop up.

To anyone changing phone or sim card : Get your PUK before you need it. The code will always be the same unless you change sim. Keep a note of it and keep it safe, from My O2 or get it from Chat or the website.
