A PUK code is something that pops up once you have enter the wrong PIN number 3 times. The code can be found on the back of the SIM card or you can call you customer care number and they'll tell you. Careful not to put in a wrong PUK code more than 10 times or you'll have to get a new SIM card.
The puk code is given with the sim card. If not then the phone dealer will have it on their records.
A PUK code does not come with a phone, it is a code to unlock your SIM card if you forgot your PIN.
Sim card
The PUK code for a phone is not based on the phone itself, it's a safe pin code for the sim-card. Usually the PUK code is written on the paper you got from your phone company if not, you need to call the phone company to get the PUK code
You need to call your carier and find the code if you get the puk or puc code after ten tries it destroys your sim card and it cant be reused
PUK is Pin Unblocking Code. This is normally a code available to help mobile users with the telephone company as when one activates PIN code for his/her mobile and by chance forgets that PIN code and enters wrong PIN code for 4 times then PUK code is asked. This code can be given to the user on request by the customer care after proper verification. PUK code is 10 digit code and if user enters wrong PUK code for 10 times then SIM card is bloked and user needs to change the SIM card. Asmita

what is the puk code
Each PUK code is unique to it's SIM card. Not the phone itself or the service provider. If your a registered member on their site, you can log in and get your PUK code from there. It should be on the top row saying "unlock my SIM card". Make sure your phone is on first. If you can't, call their costumer service. NOTE: Don't incorrectly enter your PUK code for more than 10 times or you'll have to buy a new SIM card.
STOP messing with it immediately. Only your service provider can provide you with your PUK. It is not on your box and it is not on the card that the SIM card was punched out of like a lot of people on here will try and tell you. The PUK is unique to each SIM card so nobody on here can give you one (well, I guess they can but it will not work) and if you put in an incorrect code 10 times you will "fry" the SIM card and will have to purchase a new one for around $25-$30. Call your service provider and explain that your phone is asking for the PUK and they will give it to you and will walk you through putting it in and getting your phone working again. I do know that AT&T also allows you to get your PUK on their website but I do not know if others do that or not.
A PUK code needs to be entered when you have had three tries and could not enter the correct sim pin. The PUK code will be written on your sim card
