On the card that came with the sim card is the PUK (no it's not puke but rather password unlock key)....find it and enter it and make sure you don't enter it incorrectly 10 times as then the sim card will be fried....then next time you turn on the phone, you can remove the pin requirement by going through the security menus of your phone...you will need the pin that one time and the sim card will no longer ask for a pin (I am not sure this is written to the card and whether or not it will carry over if you transfer the sim card to another phone; some technology geek here will better be able to answer that).....I've always thought it senseless to have a pin lock on a prepaid card anyway....they're probably not going to give you back the credit and if it's the phone the thief wants, he or she can just throw away the sim card anyway....
