A puk code can be acquired from your network operator , as it is a sim related issue not a phone one. Contact your customer service, most operators now, provide the PUK code over phone after validating your identity for using the sim card. if you used another unlocked SIM card. you will not require to enter PUK code, since it is a sim issue, as you have entered the pin wrongly 3 times, so it asks for the PUK,

SOURCE: i need to unlock the PUK code on my samsung phone.

It's not the problem with your phone, contact the customer care of your service provider (network operator), and tell them your problem, they will give you the number instantly. If you enter wrong/random numbers several times, your sim card will be unusable. Good luck

SOURCE: need puk code for locked LG KE850prada phone

Hi,

If you need the PUK ( Personal Unblocking Key ) for your phone, you will have to contact your mobile phone service provider.

PUK code is related to the SIM card you are using. So, kindly call the Customer support of your mobile service provider and they will provide you with the PUK code.

Also, entering a wrong PUK code ten times in a row disables the SIM card permanently. So, please be careful while entering the PUK code.

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.

SOURCE: my phone is lock saids

PUK or Personal Unlocking Key is for the sim card and not for the cellphone itself. PUK codes were ask when you give a wrong PIN (Personal Identification Number) for three consecutive attempt. Mostly, PUK codes are found on the SIM casing (It is where you're newly bought SIM was attached). In some service provider has a process it retrieving this codes. However, most of this providers don't have that.

I don't no my puk code my phone is locked plz help me

Step 1 Contact your cellular carrier. Some phones allow you to call the carrier even if the PUK is locked. You can also dial the carrier's toll-free number from another phone.

Step 2Select the option to speak with customer care. The customer care agent will ask you to verify your account with the account password.

Step 3 Advise the customer care agent you need a PUK code. The agent will generate a new PUK code and give it to you over the phone.

Step 4
Enter the PUK code into the phone to unlock it.
Tip
  • Some carriers allow you to generate a PUK through your account on their website, or by talking with online support chat.

Warning When the phone switches from asking for a PIN to asking for a PUK, stop entering codes. If you enter the PUK code wrong too many times, the PUK will lock permanently and you will need to buy a new SIM card

If your SIM card becomes locked, you will need to get a PUK code from your phone carrier to unlock your SIM card. You can obtain your phone's PUK code from your carrier in one of these ways: Log in to Your account.online Use a Technical Support Chat Contact your carriers Customer Care Get Your Phone's PUK Code Online Go to the Phone/Device page. From the My Phone/Device screen, select the Unblock SIM Card link under the My Make & Model heading. The Unblock SIM screen will display your PUK code and will give you instructions for unblocking your SIM Card. Once you receive your PUK code, you will need to enter it into your phone to set a new PIN code. Note: If you enter the wrong PUK code 10 times in a row, your SIM card will be invalidated, and you will need to purchase a new SIM Card. The phone will display the following error: "PUK blocked call operator

I am a user of Reliance CDMA , the SIM has been locked and its asking for the PUK Code.. What is the PUK Code?

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.

Puk locked need code to unlock sch-U900T samsung

PUK means "personal unlocking key" .

The PUK code is asked if you enter a wrong pin 3 times.

You need to call your phone service company, they can retrieve the puk code from a database for free.

An alternative is going to a local phone shop and having the unlock done for a small fee.

The PIN and PUK are related to the SIM card, not to the phone.

If you replace the SIM card with a different one, then the phone should not ask for the PUK anymore.
