Whatever you do, DO NOT GUESS the PUK Code.

Background info:

What is a PIN and PUK code?

If you are wondering what is a PIN and the PUK and the difference between them, then let me explain. A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is necessary to protect the SIM (Subscriber Information Module) card from non-authorized access. When every time you turn on your phone, you must enter a PIN. You need to keep a secret PIN code and remember to unlock the phone. If you put in three wrong entries in the sequence, the result will be "SIM card lock". The phone can be unlocked by entering a PUK code.

PUK codes are printed on the license card that is connected to the SIM card. However, in case you have lost your card or certificate is lost, you need to call the provider call center. The provider network is the only way to get the PUK code to unlock the SIM card. It will provide an eight-digit code that is absolutely unique to a specific SIM card.

On most phones, you can enter the code directly into the phone. You must select OK and you are prompted to enter the PUK code. Again you are prompted to re-enter the verification code. On some computers, you need to enter ** 05 * (PUK code) * (new PIN) * (new PIN) # [send]. If you are unsure, you can always consult the user manual of your cell phone.

PUK code for T-Mobile

If you are trying to find PUK code for T-Mobile, you can try the following steps to unlock your phone. You must register or log in to My T-Mobile and select the phone. Then you need to select the mobile number assigned to you to unlock the SIM card, in case you have more than one mobile phone number in your account. Then select SIM unlock and click the blocked PIN code. The display shows the PUK code and is necessary to introduce this in your phone to unlock the SIM card. Or the easiest way is to call the customer service number for T-Mobile and ask for a PUK code to unlock the phone.

PUK code for AT & T Phones

If your SIM card is blocked and you are looking for PUK code from AT & T phone then you need to access the online account for AT & T. myWireless You must select My Services on the My Account page and select my phone and device options. Then, select the Unlock SIM Card and PUK code is displayed on the screen. Enter this number into your phone and set a new PIN. If you enter the wrong code ten times in succession, the SIM card is valid. In this situation, you need to buy a new SIM card. Another to obtain the PUK code is that you only have to dial the customer service number and ask for it.

PUK code for LG Phones

Many people are searching the PUK code for LG Xenon and the PUK code for LG Neon. But you should keep in mind, the PUK code has nothing to do with LG phones or any other cell phone you use. All you need do is call your network provider and request your PUK. It will ask for your telephone number and a few questions to validate that you are the owner of the locked cell phone. Will give you the PUK code you can use to unlock your phone.

How to get the PUK code on your AT&T online account:

When the error message "ENTER PUK CODE" is shown on the screen of the device:

  1. Log into the myWireless Account section of wireless.att.com
  2. Click on PHONE/DEVICE.
  3. Select the Unblock SIM Card link.
  4. Follow the instructions on the pop-up page.

Again, DO NOT GUESS the code.  Call customer support at your wireless provider to get it.

The following codes were located via a long and comprehensive Google search.  I cannot verify the validity of any of the codes.

I recommend that you get a validated code through your service provider.  Use these codes at your own risk....
