PUK means "personal unlocking key" .

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

You need to call your phone service company, they can retrieve the puk code from a database for free.

In your case you need to contact ASDA 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 should not ask for the PUK anymore.

My daughter has been messing about with her phone and now it needs a PUK code - is there a quick and easy way to resolve this ? She has a Nokia E63

Hi,

If you need the PUK ( Personal Unblocking Key ) for your phone, you will have to contact your mobile phone service provider.

PUK code is related to the SIM card you are using and not the phone. So, kindly call the Customer support of your mobile service provider and they will provide you with the PUK code free of charge.

Also, entering a wrong PUK code ten times in a row disables the SIM card permanently. So, please be careful while entering the PUK code.

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.

I need a PUK code for my Samsuing SGH-U600,What is it?

Hi jessica,

You PUK code is generated from the imei number of the phone, this makes the PUK unique.

Unfortunatly the only way to get a PUK code is to ring your Mobile phone call provider, its should be free but Ive know a few companies that try to charge.

Regards

Mike
