PUKs, or personal unblocking keys, are used to unblock a mobile phone which becomes blocked. Mobile phones may become blocked when a PIN (personal identification number) is entered incorrectly on three consecutive occasions. In some instances, the phone may become blocked, which requires a PUK to unblock it, and in other instances, the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card itself becomes blocked and again will require a PUK to unblock it. Mobile phones are also blocked when they are reported stolen and if there is an outstanding payment on the account. It is important to differentiate between unblocking phones (using a PUK) and unlocking mobile phones (using another type of code). NOTE: It is a criminal offence for anyone to attempt to unblock a mobile phone, other than the network provider who put the block on the phone. If your phone has become blocked by mistake, for example you have entered the PIN incorrectly on three consecutive occasions, then you need to contact the mobile phone network operator with your details. To explain a little more, specific to your mobile phone network, You need to go to your Service providers, web site & navigate your way to the specific PUK details for your mobile phone network operator. Usually you have to Register your phone to get a PUK code.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
PIN and PUK codes are all service provider (Your SIM / Your Connection) dependent, you can never get it from anywhere else, never get fooled and pay for it to anyone.
All you have to do is to call your service providers via some other phone or landline and talk to a CSR, ask him for the code. He will first authenticate your ownership and will give you your code in ruturn, for free, Its your right to know your PIN/PUK.
I hope you have a clear picture now.
Concerned, Nooh.

I need to unlock the puk code on my samsung s390g by net10

PUK Code
PUK stands for Personal Unblocking Key. This is a unique eight-digit code specific to your SIM card. This is required when the PIN number to unlock your mobile phone is entered incorrectly 3 times. You are then given 10 attempts to enter your PUK code. If an incorrect PUK code is entered after the 10th attempt, you will block your SIM card permanently and will require a new SIM card from your mobile phone provider.
PUK codes can be obtained through the following ways - The PUK code is in your SIM card documentation Starter Pack. If you do not have this then - Please contact your phone service provider.
Your cell phone service provider can give you the PUK code once you give them your account details and they have confirmed your identity. For details to obtain the PUK code for the SIM card, please click on this link and follow my instructions.

I need the puk code for samsung t201, its a net10 prepaid phone

To get your PUK code, you have to contact the Service Operator, in your case Net10. It's to be done by yourself so that you can identify yourself as the true owner of that sim card. There's no other solution or crack for this since it's the code saved on the Service Operator's system. You can read more about PUK code HERE. It's one of my recently posted tips.
Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

PUK CODE BUT DONT KNOW MY NUMBER TMOBILE FOR NOKIa E50-2

Hi, the PUK code of the Sim card will be provided by the Network Carrier of the Cellphone. Please contact the Customer Care of the Network Carrier to get the OUK Code. If you don't know the number of your cellphone you can tell the number present in the SIM card to get the PUK Code. Whatever the condition, I suggest that you contact the Customer Care to get the PUK Code.
