Lock Your Sim Cards WARNING. by Eim9(m): 7:57am On Jan 15, 2021
Most people don't know that there is a way you can lock your Sim card and it can be dangerous if you haven't locked your Sim card.
A friend of mine lost about 325,000 naira after his iphone was stolen.
He was bothered about his iPhone X being stolen, he didn't know that the thieves had bigger plans.
The next day when he went to the bank for a transaction, he was told he had lost that amount of money as it seemed like someone had used his Sim card to purchase airtime worth 300,000 and 25,000 worth of data.

So not until I stumbled on this video which I shared with him and it made him understand why that happened, how it happened and also the need to ENABLE SIM CARD LOCK ON YOUR PHONES.

WATCH THE VIDEO.
It is sad most Nigerians face this and don't know how to protect themselves.

So, what if after locking the Sim, you start experiencing one problem or the other and you're not able to unlock it again?

In the meantime though, show us how to lock it while we go do our research on the advantages and dissadvatages of this feature.

Oh! Sorry about that, I couldn't type the whole process. It isn't long though, watch the video, I gave a detailed explanation there.
There is no disadvantage of locking it rather advantages. Just watch the video.
I am surprised most Nigerians don't know about the sim lock feature and why they should lock it.
