Your phone is asking for a PUK code?

Is your phone asking for a PUK code. PUK = Personal Unlocking Key. Personal Unblocking Key, or PIN Unblocking Key.

This can only come from your cellphone carrier and usually the company that still owns the phone under the agreement. Sometimes it is because you have put another SIM card in it, and they own the phone and need you to use them as carrier to get the price of the phone back, or you are in default of payment, or on a Pay as You Go plan, it is over expired. I can also happen if you have entered the unlock code wrongly three times. This often happens when a phone is stolen or lost and has been found by or sold to someone else who then try and use the phone. Wikipedia A personal unblocking code (PUC), also known as a PIN unlock key (PUK), is used in 3GPP mobile phones to reset a personal identification number (PIN) that has been lost or forgotten.
Most mobile telephones offer the feature of PIN protection. After switching on the phone, if the PIN security function is active, the user is requested to enter a 4-8 digit PIN enabling the phone's non-emergency calling functions. If the wrong PIN is typed in more than three times, either the SIM card, the device, or both become locked. They can be returned to their original unlocked state by entering a PUC, provided by the service operator after verification. If the wrong PUC is entered ten times in a row, the device will become permanently blocked and unrecoverable, requiring a new SIM card. Cellular phone users are therefore advised by most providers to keep their PUC written down in a safe place separate from the device.
The PUC (PUK) is a SIM-specific code assigned and provided by the service provider.

A Personal Unblocking Key (PUK Code) is a unique number that's used to unlock the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM Card) for your phone. The SIM Card contains all the account details your phone needs to make and receive calls---including generated passwords (PIN Codes.) If you forget or loose that password, you can use the PUK Code to unlock the SIM Card. You will be prompted for the PUK Code if you enter the PIN Code incorrectly three times on your phone. You can get your PUK Code from your carrier. it is not possible to unblock the sim without your puk.

Hello,

If your phone comes up with a display requesting for the PUK code, then it means your sim card is already locked and you need to type your unblocking code to get it opened.

The PUK means personal unblocking key. It is found inside the sim pack on the sim carrier where you broke out your sim card from. There are some numbers on it, Your mobile number, your pin code your PUK code which mostly used to be 8 digits and your bar code at the bottom of the sim carrier.

Enter the 8 digit code that is on the sim card carrier, that is your PUK code, then you enter a new password, then it will prompt you to re-enter it, then your sim will be unblocked. Be sure to enter a code that you will find easy to remember, if not the sim will be blocked again and you will be requiring the PUK code to unblock it.

If you do not have the Sim carrier, then you have to contact the service providers customer care so they will give it to you.

Take care and good luck

PUKs, or personal unblocking keys, are used to unblock a mobile phone which becomes blocked. Mobile phones may become blocked when a PIN (personal identification number) is entered incorrectly on three consecutive occasions. In some instances, the phone may become blocked, which requires a PUK to unblock it, and in other instances, the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card itself becomes blocked and again will require a PUK to unblock it. Mobile phones are also blocked when they are reported stolen and if there is an outstanding payment on the account. It is important to differentiate between unblocking phones (using a PUK) and unlocking mobile phones (using another type of code). More information on unlocking phones will be available here in the very near future. NOTE: It is a criminal offence for anyone to attempt to unblock a mobile phone, other than the network provider who put the block on the phone. If your phone has become blocked by mistake, for example you have entered the PIN incorrectly on three consecutive occasions, then you need to contact the mobile phone network operator with your details.
