A PIN Unlock Code (PUC) or PIN Unlock Key (PUK) is used in GSM mobile phones and some smartcards to unblock a blocked card.
A PUK code is required if a GSM SIM card was locked after entering the wrong PIN code three times in a row. Entering a wrong PUK code ten times in a row disables the SIM card permanently. Both the PIN and the PUK codes are supplied by the operator, but only the PIN code can be changed by the user.

Hello Ogiri007,

For you to get your puk code, check the back of your starter pack.{the starter pack is the pack which contain your sim card when you bought it.

Or you mtn customer care on 180 with an mtn number and they will provide the puk code for you.

Thanks in advance.

you need a program/software for that.its best to bring to a tech or someone who knows and has this software/program.

As you know the puk code is on the certificate or in the documents that come with the simcard, to obtain the code call your phone service provider who owns the number / simcard.

Don't try to guess the puk code, entering it wrong too many times will disable the card.

I've explained more about the puk code here if your intrested.

how do i get my mtn puk number my? my number is 08064423664

you have entered the pin code wrong 3 times now you are required to enter a puk code to reset the pin code. 

The puk code is sim card spesific it comes with the sim card when you get it or you can get it by calling your phone service provider of the sim card to get the puk code. 


if you have entered the puk code wrong too many times you will make the sim card useless and you will have to contact your phone service provider for a new sim card, it will probably cost.

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 ...
