PIN Unlocked Key (PUK) is a Personal Unlock Code (PUC) used in 3GPP mobile phones to reset a personal identification number (PIN) that has been lost or forgotten.

The PUC (PUK) is a SIM-specific code assigned by the service provider. It is near-impossible to guess and enter it; thus, if a user does not know his or her PUC and is prompted for it, it should be obtained from the service provider.

Once you enter the PUK code, you must set a pin. The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and PUK2 are used to unlock the PIN and PIN 2 codes respectively if your SIM card is blocked

The "Enter PUK code" message means that the SIM card is blocked. Please call Customer Care Center at 1-877-TEN-CENT (1-877-836-2368) so that a representative can assist you with unlocking the SIM card.
