How To Get Your PUK Code

Overview

A PUK or 'Personal Unlocking Key' is a security feature on most mobile devices that protects your SIM card data. A PUK code is required when a SIM Card PIN code has been entered incorrectly.You can get your PUK code:

Using your PC: via My Account
Using another phone: via a Call
Unlocking a SIM card with a PUK differs from 'Network Unlocking' which allows a mobile device to be used with other mobile networks.
