Today, I was trying to change my PIN code in order to make my phone more secure and prevent people from getting information from it. Instead, I somehow ended up locking my phone permanently. FML

I've done that before, it's not something that was in the manual for me. If you call your service provider though they usually give you a code to unlock it again. Just don't try guessing that too otherwise your phone will permanantly lock up and you have to mail it in.

alot of people do that for sum reason they go to the security settings or however their phone is setup and they think the pin code is sumthing todo with a phone lock when in reality it's a pin number for the carrier who activated your phone those with sim cards usually get fried those like sprint or verizon get locked up so DONT change the pin code!!!!!!!!

Hahhahahahaaa I remember doing the same thing when I got my first phone. I did try looking in the manual since it was like a BOOK I thought there was gonna be SOMETHING in there to help me, but no, not really and I had to get it reset by the store XD

Most service providers and some phone manufacturers will help you with this... all you have to do is call.

Hey, i did the exact same thing with my LG Neon, call them up and ask them what to do, they offered to either send me a new SIM card (Rogers) in the mail free of charge, or i could go buy one for $40 and they would subtract $40 from my phone bill. Sadly you lose all your contacts unless they are saved to your phone instead of the SIM, but its better than no phone. Good Luck
