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.

Puk code for lg-c300

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.

I accidently pressed something on my samsung SGH-E740 and now it is asking me to enter a puk code and i lost the sheet for it.

The documentation that came with the SIM card contains the PUK code. If you have lost the documentation, then you need to contact your cell phone provider who supplied the SIM card and provide them with your details to confirm ownership, then they can supply you with the PUK code.

Blocked PUK

above solution is absolutely wrong

if pin (3 attempts) blocked it asks for PUK- this is u can get from network operator just by a call or through IVRS.

if PUK (10 attempts) blocked (call SOS appears). the sim cant be used any more. contact the nework operators shop, handover ur sim so that you get a new sim with same mobile no. this costs Re. 112 to 150

UNBLOCK MY PUK CODE

PUK is Personal Unblocking Code. You can't get it here. Every sim has a different PUK code for it. Your mobile operator may help you in this problem. Contact them.
