∙ 11y agoThe PUK - is the Phone Unlock Key. It's not normally supplied with the phone itself. When you switch on your phone, If you enter the security PIN (usually 4 to 6 digits) wrongly too many times, the handset locks itself to prevent unauthorized use. You need to contact your service provider to get them to provide you with the PUK. Once you have it - keep it in a SAFE place SEPARATE from your mobile (NEVER store it in the memory !) - If you ever lock your phone by entering the wrong PIN, you can use the PUK to release the handset - and set a new PIN.
