If you feel like your SIM card is vulnerable to unauthorized access, you can change your SIM Pin to a different one to protect your SIM data and phone number.

It’s also advisable to change your SIM pin when you purchase a new SIM card. Especially because the vendor might have seen it already, or the default Pin is an obvious one like 0000 or 1234

When you change your SIM card Pin in an iPhone, the new Pin will be saved on the SIM card and hence you can use the new Pin even with a different device like an Android.
