Privacy and Security

Your privacy and security are a top priority. This guide explains how your account and devices are protected, and the tools available to help you stay secure.


Third-party access

  • Your account manager may have third-party access to help administer your services.

  • If enabled, they can see information such as calls, messages, and data usage.

  • If not enabled, they cannot access sensitive account details.


Account security

  • All accounts are protected with strict monitoring and encryption.

  • If you forget your password, you can reset it in my.plan by following the on-screen instructions.

  • You may be asked security questions when making changes — this helps verify your identity.


SIM security

  • New SIMs are issued with a default PIN: 0000.

  • Entering the wrong PIN three times locks the SIM.

  • To unlock it, use your PUK code (available in my.plan → Controls → Device Controls).


Cyber security best practice

Attacks on mobile devices are rare, but you can reduce risks by:

  • Keeping your device software up to date.

  • Avoiding the sharing of sensitive details online.

  • Using strong, unique passwords for accounts and apps.


IMEI number

  • Every device has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number.

  • It can be used to block your device if it’s lost or stolen.

  • A device's IMEI number is available via my.plan → Controls → Device Controls.
  • Alternatively, check your device box or dial *#06#.

  • Knowing your IMEI does not pose a risk – it can’t be used to access or control your device.


Lost or stolen devices

If your handset goes missing:

  1. Apply a Lost or Stolen bar in my.plan → Device Controls.

    • Blocks calls, texts, and data.

    • Can take up to 24 hours to remove once applied.

  2. Request an IMEI block for full protection.

    • Prevents the device from being used on any network.

    • Takes 24-48 hours to apply or remove.
