Sony Ericsson S500i Phone - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hello, Yummy_ibc There is always a option to hard reset but it might include some technical terms so you just hit me on +1 (844) 355-5111 (toll-free) number.CheersJohn

u should get your PUK no. from customer care of your service provider.and then u will asked to reset your code.(u can tell your relative to call and get the PUK no.)

The PUK code is a code associated with the SIM card and not with the phone.

You have only two ways to get rid of the PUK code. Either you replace the SIM card , or you call phone provider that issued the sim cadr (eg. At&T, Virgin, Tmobile , Vodafone, Telecom etc.)

PUK means "personal unlocking key" .

The PUK code is asked if you enter a wrong pin 3 times.

You need to call the phone company that released the SIM card, they can retrieve the PUK code from a database for free.

In your case you need to contact your SIM card provider technical support to unlock the SIM.


The PIN and PUK are related to the SIM card, not to the phone.

If you replace the SIM card with a different one, then the phone will not ask for the PUK anymore.

you can contact the mobile service provider..........

format your memory card and boot it

Try restarting the phone and try opening the Camera. Uninstall any third party applications installed on the phone.

ask your customer care they will send you the gprs setting then you can activate in your phone

Do not enter any code into your phone. The PUK code is a code that your service provider has and not one that you would know or have in your manual. If your an AT&T customer they do provide PUK on their website. If you have entered in a code and the phone is now saying PUK blocked you'll have to go to store to purchase a new SIM card, you may want to call your service provider as well, they may be able to give you a credit for the new card. Hope this helped.

check it in a mobile service center

In repairs probably more than the phone out right. The cell phone repair shop near me charges 80 dollars for a speaker replacement, 50 for a charger port. I am not sure about the memory card reader or the volume keys but it sounds like you would be better off getting a whole new board and just keeping your housings, faceplates, and lcd.

Ciphering is mainly caused due to old sim cards,remove your sim and reinsert it.If the problem still persists,go to the customer care center of the operator and ask for new sim with the same number ,you would probably get this for free .Insert the new sim and see to it that the problem is gone now

Looking through the user guide and there is no reference to screen size, other than when playing games. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/249/972/1216894082/S500i__UG_R3a_AE.pdf
