If your SIM card is PIN locked, the network unlock code is useless. The network unlock code allows a phone that is restricted to a single carrier to be unlocked for use in other carrier's networks.
The SIM PIN is a personal identification number that is used to unlock the SIM card in order to register it to the network. This means that the phone will not connect to the network before a SIM is unlocked. Usually (at least around here) a new SIM has a simple PIN, like 0000 or 1234, and the user can change this. However, the carrier doesn't know your PIN, so if you forget it it can't be reset from the carrier directly.
If you happen to forget your PIN, the only way to unlock the SIM is to enter a wrong PIN enough many times (3 or 5 usually), and after this the SIM asks for the PUK (Personal Unlock Key) code, which is sometimes referred to as PUK1.
The PUK code can be obtained from the carrier, after they verify you are the rightful owner of the SIM and contract. If the SIM is a prepaid, the PUK code is sometimes printed in the card holder. After you get the PUK, enter it into your phone and enter a new PIN. After this, you can unlock the SIM with the new PIN you specified.
Note: DO NOT try to guess the PUK code yourself, if you enter it wrong three times, the SIM will be permanently locked and you'll have to get a new SIM from your carrier.

I bought one SAMSUNg SGH-J700i. When I am trying to poweron the phone it asks for Phone lock password which is 1234 and opened but immediatly it asks for SIM loack password. But I am not awrae of any SIM...

If u enter PIN code incorrectly 3 times, PIN will be blocked n phone will ask you for PUK(Personal Unblocking Key). This is a 8 digit code. If u enter Incorrect PUK for 10 times Your SIM will be lock permanently.

Your cell phone service provider can(Call from other no. n ask tell them for puk of ur no.) give you the PUK code aft3r answering simple security question.
Later enter PUK than enter new PIN, confirm new pin. Go to -Setting
-Security
-SIM lock
-off
Disable SIM n Later Phone Lock
PS:(You have to block your PIN to get access to PUK,
Default PIN- 0000, 12345)

My nokia phone is asking for a puk code..help me ...

Looks like you've entered the incorrect PIN 3 times or more.
You should be able to contact your phone service provider and ask them for your PUK code.
If you enter the incorrect PUK code too many times, it may possibly lock your itself at which point you will have to take your phone in to Nokia service center to get unlocked.

Call your service provider!!!

My phone is asking for a puk...then it asks me to set up a new pin.....i have no idea what a puk is and I have never set up a pin....help

  • if its the PUK code you need contact your customer service...they are the only ones that have it. as far a setting up a pin you shouldnt have to but if its asking for one most all phones default phone lock code is 1111 but the phones sercurity default lock code is 0000 once you have the PUK code and have entered it....try the 1111 first then it will have you enter it again if that dont work try the 0000 If the incorrect lock code is entered more than 3 times the phone will display "ENTER PUK". just enter the PUK code again

    I was looking around in the phone when it said sim card locked

    The phone is stating sim locked beause the phone had a pin code that was entered incorrectly too many times then the phone asked for a puk code (pin unblock key) and this was entered incorrectly so for security reasons it locked the sim card to protect it your services from being used. You will need to purchase a new sim card for a fee and replace your current sim card.

    PUK code ??

    PUK (Pin Unlock Key) is required when a customer enters an incorrect PIN 3 times. After entering the wrong PIN 3 times, the card will be locked and the customer will need to get a PUK code from operator to unlock it. Once a PUK has been received it will need to be entered to set a new PIN code.

    hi

    as youve entered the puk code, it asks for the new pin code, the default code was 1234 right? so if you are going to try the new pin code yu can either invent a new pin code or just enter the default code.

    hope this helps.
