Locked SIM:  need PUK code to unlock

Anyone got an answer to this? AT&T recommends that i restore to default settings through iTunes. All my settings and contacts, etc. will all have to be re-synced. Anyway around that option?

From AT&T page.How to unblock SIM card...
You'll need your phone in hand to unblock your SIM Card.
First, enter the 8-digit PUK code, then press OK/Yes.
Note: Some Motorola phone users will need to enter *05 if "enter PUK" is not already displayed. After entering *05, then enter the 8-digit PUK code and press OK.
Select a new PIN code, then press OK/Yes.
Re-enter the PIN code, then press OK/Yes.
If the codes were entered successfully, the phone is ready for use.
Important: If the incorrect PUK (Pin Unlock Key) code is entered 10 times in a row, the SIM card will become permanently locked, and you must purchase a new SIM card. If your device is requesting PUK 2 please call Customer Care at 1-800-331-0500.
Good Luck with it.

        Hello bigmike25,
      I can certainly help you with your PUK code my friend! May I ask how many times did you try to enter your password on the iPad? In order to have the PUK code retrieved, we need the prepaid mobile number and the MEID of the iPad. Below are the steps on how to find these two pieces of information.
    Settings > General >Cellular data number & MEID.
    Once you have these two pieces of information then I encourage you to give us a call at 1-800-786-8419. We are looking forward to hearing from you and getting this resolved!
    Thank you…

  • Rezound. Locked SIM, need PUK?

    I'm not very good with electronics, and when I was messing around with settings I ended up locking my phone. Pretty embarressing but I thought it was asking me what I'd like to set as the password for my sim card, figured it was optional for security and I didn't know I had one to begin with Got it wrong a couple times, and found myself with a locked phone. It's asking me for my 8 didget PUK code and I'm not really sure what that is and where to find it. I'd appreciate help if possible, otherwise I'll try to get over to the Verizon store soon. Thanks!

    Well, when I did this, I got the PUK code from the My Verizon website.

  • Where to enter PUK code to unlock sim card

    Got a new Iphone5.  My other is Iphone4 and not on service with ATT any more.  I have a PUK code to unlock it but don't know where to enter the number.

    PUK does not unlock a phone.  It unlocks a SIM. 
    The only way to use your iPhone 4 with a carrier besides AT&T is to contact AT&T and see if you qualify to have the phone unlocked.

  • Accidentally locked iPhone 4s SIM card? Need PUK code.

    The phone was given to me secondhand by a friend. It has no sevice since I cannot use it with my carrier, and I use it kind of like an iPod touch. How can I get the PUK code?

    Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked and ask them
    for the PUK.
    Be advised, you will need a sim in the iPhone to be able to activate it. The
    sim does not have to be associated with an active account; however, if the
    iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, the sim must be from that wireless
    provider.
    Be sure your friend did the following so you can make the iPhone yours:
    Before Selling/Giving Away an iOS Device
    Backup the device to iTunes or iCloud, if desired: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
    Settings > FaceTime > Off
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

  • SIM LOCKED NEED PUK CODE

    Can someone please help me unlock my SIM, I need the PUK code, please

        Hello venay22,
    I see this was a very time sensitive matter! Please excuse my delayed response.  Have you gotten the SIM unlocked at this time?  Is your phone working as normal?  If you do need any additional support it would be  my pleasure to continue troubleshooting. 
    Thank You,

  • Problem unlocking Locked SIM with correct code

    I bought my unlocked iPhone 5 in the United States in October of 2014 and have used it on an Irish network carrier for the last few months. Everytime I turn on my phone I enter my PIN code and then a message pops up saying 'Locked SIM' and gives me an option of 'OK' or 'Unlock'. I always am able to unlock it using my network unlocking code but for some reason when I turned on my phone today and entered my network unlocking code, it won't unlock. It just says 'Unlocking.... please wait' and then nothing happens. How do I rectify this problem? Do I go to my network provider or an Apple store?

    For the SIM pin you go to the network provider. You may need to get the SIM replaced.

  • IPad puk code and VPN. Resetting sim without puk code

    I have locked my sim on my iPad mini. Need my puk code but it's 7 hours drive away from me. My VPN settings are all erased due to I did a reset of my settings. Does anyone know how to reset without puk code.? Let me know would be appreciated

    Hey Mattyb28nz,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you need to enter the PUK code and do not have it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iOS: Understanding the SIM PIN - Apple Support
    Personal Unlocking Key (PUK)
    If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to enter a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again. Refer to the SIM card documentation or contact your carrier.
    Note: Entering an incorrect PUK code too many times will result in the SIM becoming permanently locked. If this occurs, you will need to contact your carrier for a replacement SIM card.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
    Mario

  • PUK locked SIM and PUK provided on "MYVerizon" doesn't work?

    So I have a PUK locked SIM and the PUK that is provided on "MYVerizon" doesn't work? I've had this phone for about a week and have had no problems with it. I set up my own pin and everything but when i went to disable the pin it kept saying it was wrong until it locked up on me. I've been up for hours on this website trying to figure this out and cant.... PLEASE HELP ME!!

    All you need to do is explain to the person that the phone will not operate unless activated. You cannot access any other settings until activated. The phone is carrier locked, and unless you did not indicate this in the sale, it is the buyer's problem. They would need to contact the carrier the device is locked to and see if they provide unlocking services and if they do if she qualifies. If you advertised a carrier locked device and she purchased it, then she got what she paid for.
    Last item you can tell her is to check the Apple website about how to activate a phone. It explains it.

  • Need PUK code

    My iPhone 4s says PUK locked.  Your sim cannot be accessed. Does anyone know how to undo this?

    Sign into my verizon http://www.verizonwireless.com under your device click it and it will show the PUK code.
    Or call 1-800-922-0204 from a different phone and ask for tech support.

  • Need user code to unlock online purchesed ebook

    where do i get the user code to unlock books I purchesed online?

    It's tied to your credit card that you used to purchase the book. User name is name listed on card, number is credit card number. My name on my card includes my middle initial but not on account with Barnes and Noble account. Even if it's a free book, I think you still have to used this process. By the way, have you tried David C. Books? Daily email offerings, free or low cost. Hope this helps.
