Is there any way to find out the SIM PIN#? I tried to enable it and all the default codes I tried don't work. 1111, 2222, 0000, 1234. I have 1 attempt left.

If the sim card has a PIN code set already...and you don't remember it (if its your SIM) then you really can't do much. Take it to the carrier and inquire. Has nothing to do with the phone though.

What will it do if it doesn't work on my last attempt?

If your last attempt at entering a SIM pin # fails, its gonna ask you for a PUK code then. That's like a 15 digit code that the operator's got with them. No point trying to do guess work. Just take it to them.

Man u definitely need to call your carrier for that code if you dont know it.
Its usually 4 digits. The 15 digit syedimran.ahmed@gmail.com was talking about is the IMEI code (useless). The PUK code is 8 digits.
Im not sure what you guys get from your carriers when u purchase a SIM or Phone w/SIM, but you usually get a little plastic card that the SIM is broken out from. That card has your PUK1 and PIN1 number on it also.
I know all this, cuz i work in the technical dept. of a cellular carrier (this is everyday stuff).

Cool. There's a slight chance I might even still have that card from 6 years ago. Good to know.
Thanks.
