Need the puk code for my three sim card but i cant remember the phone number to it and i need to unlock it

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.

Phone your service provider, give them the SIM card's phone number and they will provide you with the PUC number to reset your SIM card's pin number.

If you have lost your pin number, the only way to rest the PIN is either using a different SIM card, or entering wrong PIN three times, triggering in PUK code, and then calling SIM card phone company to unlock the PUK.

A lost PIN cannot be retrieved, only the PUK can be discoverd, but you will have to call the phone company.

PUK means "personal unlocking key" .

The PUK code is asked if you enter a wrong pin 3 times.

You need to call the phone company that released the SIM card, they can retrieve the PUK code from a database for free.

In your case you need to contact your SIM card provider technical support to unlock the SIM.

The SIM card provider is the brand on the SIM card. For example if you have a Vodafone card, you will need to call Vodafone to get the PUK.

The PIN and PUK are related to the SIM card, not to the phone.

If you replace the SIM card with a different one, then the phone will not ask for the PUK anymore.
