You need to call your network provider and they should tell you what the PUK code is or reset your phone. it is free. its happened to me before and cause im with 02 you can just go on the website and get your puk. best thing to do is call your network though.

SOURCE: UNBLOCK MY PUK CODE

Hi everyone

Every PUK code is unique so nobody can tell you your PUK number, but i will tell you what you can do!
1) If you still have your packet that your Sim Card came in, you should find your PUK number in there, if you don't have the packet, please read bellow.

2) You must get a phone that is on the same network as your phone and call the networks Customer Care and ask them for your PUK number, they will ask you for your phone number, then they will tell you your PUK number. Once you have done this, you will be able to reset your Pin number so you will be able to go into your phone again.

Please also remember to give this solution a FixYa! rating if it helps you.

Kind regards

GW525 Cell Phone: PUK is block and I can only make emergency calls. ...

A request for a PUK code ("Personal Unlocking Key") will appear on your phone if your SIM card PIN code is entered 3 consecutive times incorrectly.

Your SIM card will then become "PUKed" or Blocked. This is a security measure to protect your service.

You need to call the Customer Service department of your cell phone provider and they will give you the PUK code which will unblock your SIM card.

MY PUK IS BLOCKED I CANT DO ANYTHING

The PUK code is a code that you can only get from the phone's manufacturer. Normally the message only come up when someone has tried to enter the PUK code, but enters it incorrectly 10 times. The phone's support center will ask you to prove that you are the registered owner. If for some reason you are not able to enter the PUK code then you will have to replace the sim card.

Need puk code for lg vu phone

don't enter any codes into the phone anymore, the puk code has noting to do with the phone, its the protection of the sim card, that comes on when you have entered the pin code wrong 3 times. to get the puk code for your sim card your only option is to call your phone service provider they will give you the code.

if you have entered the wrong puk code wrong too many times you may need to buy / get a new sim card from your provider, and you will lose all the contents in the locked sim card.

My phone is actually blocked

Your phone gets locked. So you can't make calls other than emergency calls. I think, you(or someone) incorrectly attempted the wrong code many times. Hence, go to your phone service center, there will reinstall the software. Kindly revert to me if you have any clarifications.
