Hi,
The problem you are experiencing with your phone is due to the fact that your phone is locked to the sim card which was sold with your phone which means that your phone can only recognize/authorize the sim card from the service/network provider who sold the phone to you.

In order for you to be able to use your phone with another sim card,the solution is to contact your service provider and request for the unlock code to grant you the permission to use your samsung highlight phone with any sim card of your choice.
The unlock code will be given to you after asking you a few questions for free of charge.

Take care!

PUK disabled card blocked

Well it doesn't block your card, it just blocks your sim card, If you will try a diffrent SIM in your phone that will work and if you want your sim to unlock than contact your Connection service provider means the company from you have you phone connection and you need to give them your sim no, which wouldb located at the back of your SIM and they will provide you with your PUK no for the SIM card.

Show my number!

.here is the definitive fix for the "show my number syndrome" is a known fault with the Samsung G600 software. What you need to do is, borrow another sim card for the provider you are with and put it in the handset, run through the welcome sequence, save and switch off.
Then put your own sim card into the handset and repeat the welcome procedure, the show my number will now be set on default..
Ths is the only fix at present until Samsung release a newer software with the problem resolved.hope this helps pls appreciate by rating this as fixyaaa thanks and Godbless
