The SimUnlockPhone function sends a password to unlock the phone. This function is part of the SIM Manager API set that enables access to information stored on the SIM card.

  LPTSTR lpszPassword,
  LPTSTR lpszNewPin
);

Parameters

  • hSim
    Points to a valid HSIM handle.
  • lpszPassword
    Points to a password string.
  • lpszNewPin
