Hi,Thanks for posting you Question.You don't need to buy a new Sim card,

To get the Puk code to unlock your phone,you will have to contact service provider which is specific for each mobile number.

Puk code does not affect the phone your using,but it affects the Sim card and it unable you to make out going calls. And you will not have access to thing on your Sim card.

To get your Puk code for you Sim card,you can contact service provider located in your area for help.
You can go to any of your service provider outlet stores around your area.Or you can contact them through customer care line..Am sure you know their phone number to contact them.

You can not get a Puk code to unlock your phone from another source except through your service provider service..

Take care

NEED PUK UNLOCK CODE

PUK

What is a PUK? PUK stands for Personal Unblocking Key, and it's a code that's associated with a mobile phone SIM card.

Why am I being asked for a PUK? Your mobile phone's SIM Card has a four-digit PIN code enabled by default. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times, a lock will be put onto the SIM card, and you need a PUK code to unlock it.

Where do I get a PUK? If you're being asked to enter a PUK, you will need to contact your network operator to get your SIM Card unlocked. This is for security reasons. Note that only your mobile phone network operator can legally provide you with a PUK code to unlock your SIM card.

My son has managed to lock his Orange Network mobile phone and has to enter the PUK code but i cannot find it in the instruction manual. Please help!

hi, if you have had the phone and sim card from new then the PUK code is usually written on the card that the sim card was attatched to so if you still have this then look on their for the PUK code if you dont have this then dont worry just read on.

The PUK code is the security code for the sim card and if you get it wrong more than 5 times then this would block the sim card and it cant be unlocked.
To get your PUK code for that sim card all you need to do is contact your service provider and ask them for your PUK code they will give you this for free over the phone all you need to do is give them the sim cards phone number and also your details they will then give you the correct PUK code for that sim card.

Every single sim card maid has its own unique PUK code so the code they give you will only work with that sim card you gave the phone number for.

You could also try going to your service provides web site as you can usually get the PUK code off their web site.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Need puk code

puk code, personal unlocking key. It is sim card related / specific, if you take the sim card out from the phone, the phone will work with another sim card.

The puk comes up when the pin code has been entered wrong 3 times. To get the puk code for your sim card, you have to call the service provider of that sim card. They are the only ones who can provide you with the right puk code for that sim card.

The puk code may also have came with the documentation of the sim card, if its a prepaid card the puk code comes on the documents or on the box of the product.

if your unable to obtain the puk code, get a new sim card.

also entering the puk code wrong too many times will eventually ruin the sim card forcing you to buy or contact your service provider for a new sim card.

There are no puk code calculators or anything that we can do about it, you can buy premium assistance and you will get this same response. Theres no other solution.

You have to contact the phone service provider of that sim card or replace the sim card.

Can't help you even if you paid.

Puk code

Hi
you have entered the pin code wrong 3 times now you are required to enter a puk code to reset the pin code. 

The puk code is sim card spesific it comes with the sim card when you get it or you can get it by calling your phone service provider of the sim card to get the puk code. 


if you have entered the puk code wrong too many times you will make the sim card useless and you will have to contact your phone service provider for a new sim card, it will probably cost.
