If you use the same sim card, this PUK will still be there. You must contact your provider for the puk code. If you still have "attempts" remaining you can save the sim card. If it says PUK Locked...then u need a new sim card.

The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and PUK2 are used to unlock the PIN and PIN 2 codes respectively if your SIM card is blocked. It means that the problem here is your sim card and not your phone. You don't need to get a new phone just replace your sim card.

How do i unlock puk

The PUK code belongs to your sim card. When you buy a new sim card you get a new pin and a new puk code. The pin you can change, the puk stays the same. You need the puk, after your phone is locked because you entered a wrong pin 3 times in a row.
Look in the box your phone came in. On the card your sim came out, you find the PUK.

I forget my samsung c3630 passward how i fi x thir

You need to get the PUK-Code. If ypu enter the PUK-Code you can enter ypur phone and restore your password. Now... there are 2 possibilitys to get that PUK-code:

1. Look in the package of your phone. There should be a paper that belongs to your sim-card. Somethimes you find that PUK-Code also on your cellphone-contract.

2. Make contact with your provider. He will ask you some questions to ensure it is really your phone. If it is your phone, he will give you the PUK-Code.


Now when you have the PUK-Code you may enter the wrong password two or three times untill the PUK-screen shows up.
Enter the PUK-Code given by your provider or found on the papers.

Don't insert a false PUK-Code or else your phone will be locked.

I need a puk code

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 AT&T to unlock your SIM card.

You can obtain your phone's PUK code from AT&T in one of these ways:

Find the PUK Code for your phone online

  1. Go to the My Phone/Device page in myAT&T.
  2. From the My Phone/Device screen, select the Unblock SIM Card link under Manage my phone/device.
  3. 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.

Puk code to unlock sony ericsson w910i fi

The PUK code does not belong to the Phone, but to the SIM card.

PUK means "personal unlocking key" .

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

You need to call your phone service company, they can retrieve the puk code from a database for free.

An alternative is going to a local phone shop and having the unlock done for a small fee.

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 should not ask for the PUK anymore.
