    Hi,

    Just wondering what a PUK is? I've read about them in phone manuals but have
    no idea what it is or what it's for.

    If you have a PIN set on you SIM card you have 3 chances to get it right
    before the card is locked. You then have to enter the PUK code to
    restore the SIM card, you have 10 attempts before the SIM card is wiped
    and becomes useless.

    If you do not have a copy of your PUK code you will have to contact your
    service provider.

    Damn!

    I was going to say that PUK is a special code word you are allowed to
    say when your phone craps out on you at the most inopportune moment.

    ...Sort of a special pass to say 'PUK!'



    ...well, I thort it was funny, anyway.......sigh.

    So you really don't want to know what it is.
    PUK code requests are free from your provider, but as Simon says don't get
    it wrong 10 times as my mum did with a good number I got her. Telstra then
    wanted $30 for another sim.

    Yeah so to get the number back on another sim it was $30 or to get a new
    number with a new sim it was free.
    This was bout 4 years ago.
