  • ICCID: Identifies the SIM card uniquely.

  • PIN: Protects your SIM from unauthorized use.

  • PUK: Unblocks your SIM if the PIN is entered incorrectly multiple times.

  • PIN2: An additional security code for advanced features.

ICCID: The Integrated Circuit Card Identifier is a unique number assigned to your SIM card.

PIN: A Personal Identification Number is a security code that protects against unauthorized use of your SIM card.

PUK: A PIN Unblocking Key is used to unblock your SIM card if the PIN is entered incorrectly multiple times.

PIN2: Similar to the PIN, this is another security code used to access advanced SIM features.
