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). 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. To explain a little more, specific to your mobile phone network, You need to go to your Service providers, web site & navigate your way to the specific PUK details for your mobile phone network operator. Usually you have to Register your phone to get a PUK code.

SOURCE: enter PUK code, asked for new PIN code, but then get "code error"

The card is totally blocked because you have been trying PUK codes before you got the code. ! Solution : Replace the card

My nephew entered a code on my phone, so now it's locked, he dont remember the number. how do I unlock my samsung phone

If you enter a wrong PIN code too many times, usually three, your SIM will lock itself. This protects you from someone using your personal information or making calls if your cell phone is lost or stolen. You may see "PIN blocked" or Enter PUK code" on your cell phone display. The PUK code stands for PIN Unblocking Key. In the U.S., the PUK code is rarely provided when you get your subscription.

If you do not have your PUK code, contact the Customer Care customer again. Give them your phone number and once they are sure it is really you, they will give you the PUK code.
You will then be asked to set a new PIN code. Once you have your PUK be sure to keep it in a safe place

I want to know my pin & puk code easily

If you have forgotten your PIN number;
  • Telephone your cell phone service provider and ask for your PUK code. (They are the only ones who can give it to you as it's the SIM card that locks rather than the phone.)
  • Enter a wrong PIN number 3 times and your SIM card will lock (if it's not already locked)
  • Turn off your phone and then turn it on again.
  • When you turn it on enter the PUK code. It will ask you for a new PIN. Enter a new PIN number and that will be the PIN you use from then on.
Keep the PUK code safe somewhere as you could need it again if you forget the PIN again.

    Sim card is blocked &need pin1 code

    Hi, well you have frogetten the pin code so what you can do is to have your PUK code from your service provider and now enter the wrong PIN three times if you dont know the correct PIN then it will ask for your PUK code. Now you can enter the PUK code which you have got from your service provider. If you dont have your PUK code then just make a call to your service provider they will give you the PUK code. This will fix the problem! Thanks! mannu_rakesh

    I dont know the PUK Code and the PIN code. It wont let me get into the phone.

    Your service provider can give you the PUK code. Once that is entered you will be able to reset the PIN code. DO NOT try and guess the PUK code! If the PUK is entered too many times incorrectly it will deactivate the SIM permanently and you will have to purchase a new SIM.
