The display indicates that my PIN is blocked. How do I unblock the phone?After entering your PIN incorrectly three times sequentially, the SIM will block itself. To unblock it, you must enter an unblocking key code (PUK). Contact T-Mobile Customer Care to receive an unblock code.

My phone displays a carrier other than T-Mobile on the screen.This will occur if you are roaming outside of the T-Mobile coverage area. Visit Personal Coverage Check to verify your coverage area.
My phone will not ring.Make sure your phone’s ringer is not turned off (or in vibrate mode).
I tried to place a call and heard an alternating high/low tone.Your call did not reach the system correctly. You may have dialed the number too soon after turning on the phone. Wait until the display shows T-Mobile before making a call. If it is still not working, verify that you are using 10-digit dialing and attempt the call again. Contact T-Mobile Customer Care if the problem continues.

I cannot send or receive calls.Ensure that you have an active signal on the phone. Avoid electrical or radio interference and obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings. Also, verify that your SIM card is installed and working and that your battery is charged. Contact T-Mobile Customer Care if the problem continues.
