Puk i was trying to use my sim card in not there phone but now my card locked its asking me for puk

A PUK code is a "Pin unlock code" it is used in mobile phones. This code unlocks the SIM card to allow access to your mobile phone. If you enter this code incorrectly several times, then the SIM card will be locked permanently and you will need to purchase another SIM card from your mobile phone provider.
The PUK code is with the documentation that came with your SIM card, if you no longer have the documentation, then you need to contact your phone service provider and ask them for the PUK code.

here is some info on PUK codes:

try taking battery and SIM out waiting 15 seconds and powering cell back on.

In your case I believe your SIM is now FROZEN or locked. You mostlikely will need to purchase a new SIM card.

A PUK code (Pin Unlock Key) is required when you enter an incorrect PIN 3 times. After entering the wrong PIN 3 times, the card will be locked and you will need to get a PUK code from your service provider to unlock it.

If the wrong PUK code is entered ten times in a row, the SIM card becomes invalid and you will need to purchase a new SIM Card. The phone will display "PUK blocked call operator".

hi, if your phone is asking for the puk code then what this actually means is that the sim card is locked and is asking for a code to unlock it, all you need to do is contact your service provider and give them your phone number, they will then give you the puk code for free over the phone.

Dont try guessing this code as its 15 digits long and if you get it wrong more than 5 times then the sim card would be locked and would be no longer any good.

If you dont need to use that sim card then you could put another sim card in the phone and then this wouldnt ask for the puk code.

But all it is is a phone call to your service provider and then your phone will be working.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Typically when a phone is asking for a PUK code it means you have tried to edit or set the secuirty pin code. Unfortunately these codes are already predefined by the sim card and the service provider. It gives you the sensation that you can set or change the code but you cannot. You get 3 attempts to enter the correct code after which the phone asks for a PUK code. When it asks for the PUK you also get three tries to undo it. Again PUK codes are predefined by the sim card and the service provider. If you call your service providers technical support number or customer service number they can provide you with the PUK or the PIN code.

>>>> Once the PUK has been entered in wrong 3 times the sim card is shot and deactivated. At this point you will need to get a new sim card to get your phone up and running again. If you have numbers stored to your sim card and not to your phone you will have lost them.

Well do onething take out the your sim card and note the 24 or less number written on the back of sim
and call to the customer care from other mobile and ask him to tell the puk code as well as pin code

dont try to enter the puk code yourself as it is the code of your sim number and if you enter puk code wrong many times your sim will be locked.
