SIM Lock
The SIM lock programmatically locks the SIM card after more than three failed unlock attempts. To prevent Denial of Service attacks or brute-force attacks against the SIM lock, unprivileged applications are prevented from accessing the SIM APIs. In addition, rogue applications cannot destroy the SIM by exceeding the maximum number of failed logon attempts.
