skipped the SIM PIN on iPhone startup, now no service

Restarted my phone and dismissed the SIM PIN prompt without thinking. Now it shows SIM locked and no signal. How do I get the PIN box back without restarting again?

Toggle airplane mode on and then off again. When the phone reconnects it usually asks for the SIM PIN straight away. If it doesn't, go to Settings > Mobile Service (Cellular on some versions) > SIM PIN and it should prompt you there. Careful with the guesses though. Three wrong PINs and the SIM locks to a PUK code, and that one you have to get from your carrier.
