Your SIM card is protected with a PIN

You should never deactivate the PIN protection on your SIM card. If the PIN is deactivated, authorities or other persons can use the card themselves to gain access to messengers, for example.

Note for anonymous SIM cards: If you use anonymous SIM cards, you often cannot activate the pin lock as you often do not know the pin / PUK associated with the card. You often receive these cards with the pin deactivated. In this case, you should make sure that all your messengers are secured with a second factor (e.g. PIN) and that you do not use the card itself for two-factor authentication.
