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.

SOURCE: My LG Vu does not read my sim card

I had the same problem with mine. I took it to an at&t store and they put a new sim card in it and it still didnt work. I ended up having to get a new phone sense for some reason at&t said they didnt know what was wrong with it.

SOURCE: my LG VU is not reading my sim card

The sim card goes in the other way. The cut should be on the bottom left facing up. Try it and see if it works.

SOURCE: i accidently locked my lg shine phone permanently.

It must be sent to LG to be unlocked. It takes only 3 tries and it locks forever. Manufacturer is the only one who will do it safely and right.

SOURCE: LG vue dosent read the memory card!!

You have to use a SanDisk memory card. I dont know why this is but that answer came from LG themselves. I work for AT&T (not the cellular) and some customers were having the same problem. None of that was in the support materials for the phone but it was learned in a call to LG tech support. Try getting a SanDisk card and see if that takes care of it.
