Hi,
PUK refers to Personal Unblocking Key. This is a Code which
is offered only by Service Provider. There is NO charge. Call up the
service provider and ask for the same and they would be glad to offer
that.
Note - If you enter 3 incorrect PUK codes, SIM would be permanently damaged.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Thanks for your response!!
You could also call the Service Provider from other number. Your Sim would not be damaged if you have tried to enter wring PUK less than 3 times. If you might have punched that, in this case you need to have one more SIM. Yes, you could ask for a SIM for the same number. There would be extra charges that you might need to pay.
Let me know, if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.

These directions are for an AT and T phone, but other than that would be the same for any carrier.
A PUK (PIN Unlock Key) code is required to unlock SIM cards that have become locked following three successive incorrect PIN entries. If your SIM card becomes locked, you will need to get a PUK code from your phone carrier to unlock your SIM card.
You can obtain your phone's PUK code from your carrier in one of these ways:
Log in to Your account.online
Use a Technical Support Chat
Contact your carriers Customer Care
Get Your Phone's PUK Code Online
Go to the Phone/Device page.
From the My Phone/Device screen, select the Unblock SIM Card link under the My Make & Model heading.
The Unblock SIM screen will display your PUK code and will give you instructions for unblocking your SIM Card.
Once you receive your PUK code, you will need to enter it into your phone to set a new PIN code.
Note: If you enter the wrong PUK code 10 times in a row, your SIM card will be invalidated, and you will need to purchase a new SIM Card. The phone will display the following error: "PUK blocked call operator

Hello Taran,
I cannot enter anything now, the device would not respond. So I assume the SIM is damaged. Can I retain the same number if I get a new SIM, and will my phone work properly with the new one.
