The sim card pin blocked

how to get my stc puk number

Hello Ogiri007,

For you to get your puk code, check the back of your starter pack.{the starter pack is the pack which contain your sim card when you bought it.

Or you mtn customer care on 180 with an mtn number and they will provide the puk code for you.

Thanks in advance.

Most phones these days are SIM locked to certain networks. You either need a SIM card that is on the same network as you lost SIM, or the phone needs to be 'unlocked' to be used with any network (which is a breach of you mobile contract in most instances!).

The Puk number depends on the pin lock on the sim, the phone will still work with a different Sim card.

To unlock the Puk code you need to call the contact number for the service provider for your Sim. Alternatively you can unlock the PUK code at a local shop for a small fee, £10 or £20 in UK.

To unlock PUK, call the company that branded your Sim card.

you need a program/software for that.its best to bring to a tech or someone who knows and has this software/program.

You need to call MTN Nigeria to unlock the PUK, or simply use a different sim card.

UK means "personal unlocking key" .

The PUK code is asked if you enter a wrong pin 3 times.

You need to call the phone company that released the SIM card, they can retrieve the PUK code from a database for free.

In your case you need to contact your SIM card provider technical support to unlock the SIM.


The PIN and PUK are related to the SIM card, not to the phone.

If you replace the SIM card with a different one, then the phone will not ask for the PUK anymore.

just go straight 2 your sim card provider, ok? then if u are using an iphone, you can go to the net and visit thier website, there they will give u a solution.

how do i get my mtn puk number my? my number is 08064423664

you have entered the pin code wrong 3 times now you are required to enter a puk code to reset the pin code. 

The puk code is sim card spesific it comes with the sim card when you get it or you can get it by calling your phone service provider of the sim card to get the puk code. 


if you have entered the puk code wrong too many times you will make the sim card useless and you will have to contact your phone service provider for a new sim card, it will probably cost.
