Phone keyboard locked out and requesting a PUC Code
SOURCE: UNBLOCK MY PUK CODE
PUK
stands for 'Pin Unlock Code', and has to be entered if you've locked
your SIM by repeatedly entering the wrong PIN code. If you're asked for
a PUK code, you've had more goes at guessing your SIM card PIN code
than you're allowed. You'll need to phone your network provider
Customer Services for your PUK code to unlock the SIM. For security
reasons, it's only the network operator that can legally provide you
with a PUK code to unlock your SIM.With some phones you will get a cert card with your sim card and it might have the 8 digit PUK on it. if this has been entered 10 times or more incorrectly then you will need a new sim card

call your service provider (virgin) and ask them for the unlock code
* there could be a fee if you have not put $80 worth of credit through the phone cause that is what had to do

I had the same problem! In the end I rang virgin and they gave me the unlock code. First hold down the camera button and the lock button at the same time. This will take you to your key pad. Enter 2945#*990#. To be honest I cant remember what I selected after that I think it was unlock sim or something then it took me to a screen saying "enter NSCK. Remaining 10". Then I entered the number virgin gave me. I dont know if it was for my phone only but here it is:
2902945217800973. After I entered that it gave me a tick and then the handset reset and everything was exactly the same as before and I didnt loose my numbers or settings. I beleive remaining 10 means you have that many attempts before you get into serious trouble. I hope this works for you!
Cheers

Please call your operator's customer care, give them all details like phone model/IMIE etc and they should provide you PUK code.

HI,
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 your SIM card phone provider 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.
thank you,
