Hi
To get a PUK for your SIM you have to call the Service provider of your SIM.
Please do not try to Guess the PUK. If you Enter Wrong PUK for 10 times your SIM will get corrupt and you cannot use it further.
Simply call your SIM card (Mobile) customer care and request the PUK for you number. They will provide it without any charge.

Note: There is no other way to get a PUK.

Thank you for choosing Fixya

The default PUK is 00000000 (eight zeros). And if you give wrong PUK three or more times the SIM gets locked and you have to procure a new SIM from the service provider. If you have not and the eight zeros do not work then ask the helpline of the service provider for a new PUK as it is in their domain.

PUKs, or personal unblocking keys, are used to unblock a mobile phone which becomes blocked. Mobile phones may become blocked when a PIN (personal identification number) is entered incorrectly on three consecutive occasions. In some instances, the phone may become blocked, which requires a PUK to unblock it, and in other instances, the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card itself becomes blocked and again will require a PUK to unblock it.Mobile phones are also blocked when they are reported stolen and if there is an outstanding payment on the account.It is important to differentiate between unblocking phones (using a PUK) and unlocking mobile phones (using another type of code). NOTE: It is a criminal offence for anyone to attempt to unblock a mobile phone, other than the network provider who put the block on the phone.If your phone has become blocked by mistake, for example you have entered the PIN incorrectly on three consecutive occasions, then you need to contact the mobile phone network operator with your details. To explain a little more, specific to your mobile phone network, You need to go to your Service providers, web site & navigate your way to the specific PUK details for your mobile phone network operator. Usually you have to Register your phone to get a PUK code.
