I need a PUK code for a vodacom sim for my phone using vodacom sim.

If you turn on your smartphone and can't remember the PIN code to unlock your SIM card, you have three chances to get it right. If you type in the PIN incorrectly more than three times, your SIM card will be blocked. Other than emergency numbers, you won't be able to make or receive phone calls, send and receive SMSs or use your data.
Thankfully it's easy to unblock your SIM card by entering your phone's unique PIN Unlock Key or PUK number. After you've entered your PUK number, you'll be able to set a new PIN - hopefully one you'll remember!

How to retrieve your PUK number

When you get a new SIM card, the PUK is supplied with the Starter Pack. Unfortunately, these tend to get lost over the years. Not to worry - you can access your PUK in other ways too:

• Log into My Vodacom online
  Select 'Manage my profile'
  Select the tab 'Price plan and phone' and you will see your PUK number displayed.

• SMS 'VPP' to 31050 from the cellphone number you need your PUK for.
• Dial *135#
  Select 'Services'
  Select 'PUK Number'

• Or, dial 082 135, free from a Vodacom cellphone and follow the voice prompts.

Make sure you have the right PUK number and enter it correctly. If you enter the incorrect PUK number too many times, your SIM card will be permanently blocked and you'll have to get a new one.

Contact Vodacom for your Puk number, your service provider is the only one to have this number!

Hi the PUK code is the security code for the sim card and not any code to do with the phone, all you need to do to get the PUK code is call your service provider.
your service provider wont charge for giving you the code as the code belongs to you, all you need to tell them is your phone number or if you dont know that then the number printed on the sim card, they will then provide you with the 10digit PUK code for free over the phone.
this will then allow you to access the sim card.

The only place you can get the PUK code from is your service provider as their is no where else that keeps these codes, if you still have the card the sim card was attatched to then it will be written on their but if you no longer have this then the only way your going to get the code is by calling your service provider, they wont charge you for this as the code belongs to you,

you do have another option open to you though, if you dont need that sim card then you can go out and get another sim card and when you get given a new sim card you will get given the unique PUK code it will be written on the card the sim card is attatched to.

let me know if you need further assistance ok.

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

Hi,

Hi
PUK code is called as PERSONNAL UNBLOCKING KEY.
Your phone will ask for PUK code when you entered the PIN code wrongly several times depending upon the mobile make. The mobile asks for PUK code so that unauthorized persons do not use your mobile for wrong cause.
To get PUK code please contact your service provider through phone or go directly to their office. They will provide you the PUK code for your mobile. The PUK code is unique for each mobile phone model.so that you can open your phone. When you planning to call your service provider you cannot use your mobile as it is fully locked. Please use some other mobile with same network to call your service provider.
This PUK code prevents thieves from being able to make use of stolen handsets, that is why it can only be given by the service provider only.

While you get the PUK code ,the service provider customer care officer will ask for your personal details to check whether the mobile belongs to you only. If they are satisfied with your answers they will provide with the PUK code
DONOT enter the PUK code several times wrongly,It will block your sim card permanently.
This PUK code is FREE. You no need to pay any sum to get the PUK code
Thank You.

PUK is a pin unblock code - your provider can get it for you.

*#06# is NOT your PUK it is your IMEI number
Since the PUK is sim card specific it will not be on the box or anywhere with the phone you MUST call your provider for it.
If you enter the PUK incorrectly 5 times you will burn out your sim and need to purchase a new sim.

can it be solved
