The PUK code MUST COME FROM THE SERVICE PROVIDER as it is SIM specific! I would ask to speak to a supervisor if after identifying yourself as the legal owner of the SIM they refuse to give it to you!
Most service provider will also give you the PUK code in your Pre-Paid Online management site when you register the SIM online.
Hope it helps!

    Did you manage to get your PUK code?
    Please remember that if you continue to enter an invalid unlock code, you SIM will be permanently/physically disabled (usually happens after 10 attempts) an only option will be to pay and get a replacement SIM.

I need the puk no for my samsung sgh-f480

Please call the Customer Care of your Network Operator (sim card provider), they will tell your the code. There's no other way or no means to get the code except from the Service Operator. They might ask your few questions related to the Sim Card, like your name or your address, tell them promptly and they will give you the puk code for your sim card. It's also important to note down the Sim Card Number (number written on the sim card) if in case they ask you the sim number. You will also be assisted on how to disable the security settings.

Note: if you keep entering random/unknown numbers/codes, the sim card will be locked and will be rejected. It'll not be usable anymore. Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Pin locked

PUK code, (personal unlocking key).

This is SIM card related / specific. If you take the SIM card out of the phone, the phone will work with another sim card.


The puk comes up when the pin code has been entered wrong 3 times. To get the puk code for your sim card, you have to call the service provider of that sim card. They are the only ones who can provide you with the right puk code for that sim card.


The puk code may also have came with the documentation of the sim card, if its a prepaid card the Puk code comes on the documents or on the box of the product.


if your unable to obtain the puk code, get a new SIM card.


Also entering the PUK code wrong too many times will eventually ruin the sim card forcing you to buy or contact your service provider for a new sim card.


There are no puk code calculators or anything that we can do about it, you can buy premium assistance and you will get this same response. There is no other solution.


You have to contact the phone service provider of that sim card or replace the SIM card.
