Locked SIM card
Every time I turn my phone off or runs out of battery, it comes back on the phone asks to unblock my sim. This has only been happening recently and wondering if there’s something wrong with my phone or the sim.

Hi there, Lillyyivyy!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you are seeing a message that your SIM is locked when your iPhone battery dies or your device is restarted. That message can occur when there is a SIM PIN on the device, so I would recommend checking out this article to Use a SIM PIN for your iPhone or iPad. This article will give you steps you can take to turn off the SIM PIN. It will also give you the next steps to take if you don't know the SIM PIN.
Have a wonderful day!
