Hello,
You might have to do a factory reset. You can do so while in standby mode, press "ok" for the Menu. Then select Settings & Tools > Phone Settings > Security > Enter the lock code (default pass is last 4 digits of your cell phone number) > Restore Phone > Confirm resetting handset > Press OK to re-program the phone. Now enter the lock code again and press OK to restore the phone to the factory default settings.
Note: Press *228 and SEND after the power cycle to re-program the phone

When i have locked my phone they ask pin code incorrect enter pin code so what i do a

If your SIM card is PIN locked, the network unlock code is useless. The network unlock code allows a phone that is restricted to a single carrier to be unlocked for use in other carrier's networks.
The SIM PIN is a personal identification number that is used to unlock the SIM card in order to register it to the network. This means that the phone will not connect to the network before a SIM is unlocked. Usually (at least around here) a new SIM has a simple PIN, like 0000 or 1234, and the user can change this. However, the carrier doesn't know your PIN, so if you forget it it can't be reset from the carrier directly.
If you happen to forget your PIN, the only way to unlock the SIM is to enter a wrong PIN enough many times (3 or 5 usually), and after this the SIM asks for the PUK (Personal Unlock Key) code, which is sometimes referred to as PUK1.
The PUK code can be obtained from the carrier, after they verify you are the rightful owner of the SIM and contract. If the SIM is a prepaid, the PUK code is sometimes printed in the card holder. After you get the PUK, enter it into your phone and enter a new PIN. After this, you can unlock the SIM with the new PIN you specified.
Note: DO NOT try to guess the PUK code yourself, if you enter it wrong three times, the SIM will be permanently locked and you'll have to get a new SIM from your carrier.

How should I get my PUK code if I entered the wrong password again and again. My vodaphone prepaid mobile number is 9713573140

Hi bundela_swat,

You can get the PUK code from your mobile network provider i.e Vodaphone by either calling them from another phone and verifying your identity or by going to the nearest customer service center of vodafone.

do not enter the wrong pin again and again that could cause your sim card to get blocked permanently.

I bought a xbox live card cant fine were to put the numbers to get xbox live

Those features that you cant use are the access. Go to anything that requires xbox live in the main menu and press it. It should then give you a option to connect to xbox live. then you simply follow the on screen instructions and its done!

Sim card blocked need puk code

Hello,
This error has something to do with the incorrect attempts for the PIN entry. This happens when you entered invalid PIN 3 times.
The PUK code is the abbreviated term for Pin Unblock Key. If your account is prepaid, it is printed on a small paper bundled with the SIM card. If you are on post paid, the only way to obtain is by calling your carrier. They should be able to provide you the PUK.
Good luck!

Sims card Puk code is locked need help

PUK 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.


Hope This Helps!!! Please Don't Forget to Rate my Response!!! Thanks!!!
