<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings?action=diff&rev2=52&rev1=51>
** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
** Summary changed:
- [SIM PIN] system settings missing SIM unlock functionality
+ [SIM PIN] System Settings missing SIM unlock
** Description changed:
Build r91
1. set up a SIM PIN or make sure the inserted SIM has already a set up SIM
PIN (reboot device if needed)
- 2. after reboot, don't unlock and navigate to System Settings > Security &
Privacy > SIM PIN
+ 2. after reboot, don't unlock
+ 3. navigate to System Settings > Security & Privacy > SIM PIN
What you see: A green tick on the toggle next to the SIM PIN and beneath
that a "Change PIN..." button
What you should see: Some way to unlock the SIM without turning off the
SIM PIN.
There are three relevant states for a SIM:
(A) no SIM PIN set
(B) SIM PIN set, SIM locked
(C) SIM PIN set, SIM unlocked.
If a SIM PIN is set, when you start up the phone you have the choice to
unlock it (switch from B to C) or not (stay on B).
If you don't unlock it, you can't make or receive calls, send or receive
SMS, or use cellular data in any app. And you probably can't predict
ahead of time whether you'll want to do any of those things.
Currently System Settings only lets you turn the SIM PIN on (A to C) or
off (C to A), not to unlock it. It's not reasonable to expect every app,
that might use cellular data, to provide its own access point for
unlocking the SIM. Therefore, System Settings should let you do this
too.
