Tip

What is PUK code. How to get this?

A Pin Unlock Code (PUC) or Pin Unlock Key (PUK) is used in GSM mobile phones and some smartcards to unblock a blocked SIM card.
The basic of PUK code is,

SIM cards have their own security
on startup SIM cards ask for PIN code (4 digit)
If user enters it correctly then its accessible
If user enters it incorrectly 3 times (in some 7 times) PIN code is blocked. To stop brute force attempt.
Blocked PIN code is unlocked through PUC (Pin Unlock Code) or alternatively called PUK Pin Unlock Key which is 8 digit.
If PUK is entered correctly user sets new PIN code and SIM is accessible.
If PUK is entered incorrectly 3 times, then SIM is no longer usable or accessible and any data in it is lost.
Sim card security is managed by their providers which are usually network companies like vodafone, 3G, Orange and Virgin or T mobile etc... (Whatever is yours like U-Fone, Warid etc....)
NO ONE else can give PUK code. YOU HAVE TO ASK YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER/NETWORK for PUK.

It cannot connect to the network

its either locked to a network or your PIN has been blocked.
try a diferent sim card, if the new SIM cars works, then your original sim card PIN has been blocked, if it gives you the same message, then your phone has been locked to one network, find out which network. if your PIN is blocked, contact your service provider and they will give unlock it for you

puk number is given by the network provider ....

i think you blocked the pin code by entering the wrong pin code for 3 times so it is asking for the puk code ..

to get puk code you must follow these steps :

1. call to your network provider customer care

2. tell them that your pin code got blocked you want puk code

3. if they ask any details about the sim card owner you answer that one ...

4. then make a note of the puk code and enter in to your cell

note :
if you enter the wrong puk code for more than 3 or 10 times your sim will get fully blocked you must purchase the duplicate sim card or you must contact the network provider shoppe ...

1. if you've already registered the sim with the network- go to home page on web login to your account click on the help section click on unblock my sim, enter your mobile number & hey presto PUK code appears

2. ring the network & ask them for your PUK code

INDIRA KUMAR · Answer 4 · 6/13/2010 12:00:00 AM

PIN CODE:

HI If you are asking for pin contact your service provider , he will give you a default pin .

If you try pin more than few predefined no of times your phone will ask PUK code which can also be given only by your service provider which is specific for each and every mobile number . Do not try PUK(new pin code) code many times or else your sim will be blocked and you will need a new sim.

Contact your sim customer care department over phone. Its free of cost to get the pin or puk no.
Go to the nearest service outlet of your service provider they can also help you.
There is no other go than the above procedure only your service provider can give it nobody else in this world nor any software.
