it should be 1234 unless you changed it at some point.
The SIM PIN is typically limited to 4 digits by default, as set by most carriers, including TELUS. However, once you change it, some SIM cards may allow a longer PIN (up to 8 digits) depending on the device and network settings. If you’d like to customize your PIN, you can try changing it in your phone’s SIM settings. If a longer PIN isn’t accepted, it means the SIM only supports a 4-digit PIN.

Thank you. Hehe, my last attempt worked out and I could change it successfully. One more question: Is the digit amount limited to 4 as shown by the default SIM or could you choose a 5, 6, 7 or 8 digit PIN?

Great advice. Thank you.
