PUK Code PUK stands for Personal Unblocking Key. This is a unique eight-digit code specific to your SIM card. This is required when the PIN number to unlock your mobile phone is entered incorrectly 3 times. You are then given 10 attempts to enter your PUK code. If an incorrect PUK code is entered after the 10th attempt, you will block your SIM card permanently and will require a new SIM card from your mobile phone provider. PUK codes can be obtained through the following ways - The PUK code is in your SIM card documentation Starter Pack. If you do not have this then - Please contact your phone service provider.

Well if you put another SIM card and everything is OK it is not about your phone it is about locked SIM card (what I think is the case). When SIM card is locked, there is no solution for you to unlock it, you have to go to your provider (for example SPRINT, Vodafone etc.) and they have to unlock your card there.
If u enter PIN code incorrectly 3 times, PIN will be blocked n phone will ask you for PUK(Personal Unblocking Key). This is a 8 digit code. If u enter Incorrect PUK for 10 times Your SIM will be lock permanently.

you can't access your phone.If you enter the pin code wrongly for a
specified(normally 3)number of ties your sim will get locked.You can't
use that sim in other phones also without unlocking it.PUK code

code is provided by the network operators.If the PUK code is entered 10

PUK- stands for PIN UNBLOCKING KEY.. well this happen only when u enter an invalid passcode when u enable a password protection for ur sim card. this is different when u miss entering codes on your phone lock. note: "sim locks", and "phone locks" are different from each other. sim locks only allows u 3 tries and after that a PUK will be required. while phone locks dont have any limit. so if thats the case.. ur only hope is the manual that comes with your sim cad. in there u can access for ur PUK and after entering that successfully u can now access ur sim card. but if not, u have to buy another sim card or change another number. but u can still use your phone.. -jepoyPH
puk comes up when you enter the pin code wrong 3 times. You need to call your phone service provider to get the puk code, you can put another sim card into the phone and the phone should work normally. but since this sim card has been tryed to open 3 times wrong its now asking for the puk code. get it from the service provider.
