Most people use it to restrict numbers (eg can only dial 416-XYZ assuming your company phones all have that XYZ exchange, or when giving a phone to kid so they can only call parents or restrricting long distance etc)
But on a prepay service (which has no overages etc) it seems weird to even ask to enable it

I will pitch in here
Telus uses 1234 as default pin2 so I would be willing to bet same code works on Public
Give it a try and report back

Somebody has to wear the black hat in the crowd. I can't say that I have been with this service forever. It is a good chunk of the time after the Telus takeover. I have never heard of anyone making a big deal out of FDN. Since the mantra of this service is less for less, this feature is not consistent with the budget service offered here. The customer base remains happy, notwithstanding.

I did not know what FDN was either. Thank you for bringing it up. I guess you learn something new everyday:)

@Luddite PIN2 is for locking down what numbers can be dialed from the phone (via FDN). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Dialing_Number.
@doe I have no idea if PM SIMs support this or not. To be totally honest, does anyone need it in 2017 when you can lock your phone, requiring a PIN/Fingerprint/Face/etc to unlock and use at all?
I can confirm that the FDN settings are available in my phone's dialer settings (OnePlus 5T on Android Nougat 7.1.1), but I am not going to muck about with them as I have no need for this feature.
@sheytoon do you happen to know if PM supports FDN?

You may ask the moderators anything. Your queries will certainly be bottom of every queue.
I have no idea about FDN but SIM cards may only have 1 number associated with them, and only 1 SIM per account.
PUKs are available if you lock your SIM and cannot remember the pin you set. All SIMs are unlocked when delivered.
No idea what PIN2 is for.
