Today in this post we will tell you how to unlock Sim SIM card and how to know the PUK code. Read this post through to the end if you wish to disable the SIM card’s lock.
Everyone uses SIM cards these days because a mobile phone is useless without one, but we should be aware when they are being used improperly.
Therefore, you should keep your SIM secure. If it is lost, no one can use it, so you should lock it so that if someone tries to use it by putting it in a mobile device, he must ask for a password for security.
So, let us know in detail if you also wish to lock your SIM card to prevent misuse.
How to Lock SIM Card?
Sim Lock is a helpful security feature that means you will be prompted for the Sim PIN if your phone is stolen and you turn it off and back on again.
That SIM will be blocked if the incorrect PIN is entered three times; to unblock it, the PUK Code is needed.
- First, navigate to your phone’s Settings.
- You now need to select Security.
- Next, proceed to SIM card lock.
Here, you choose which SIM slot (Sim Slots 1 or 2) you wish to lock.
- You must select “Lock SIM card,” input your PIN, and then click “OK.”
Your SIM has been locked, so now when you turn on your phone, you will be prompted for the SIM card PIN. Only then will your phone unlock.
Note: Your SIM will be blocked if you enter the incorrect numbers three times.
How do I unlock the SIM card?
If you wish to unlock the SIM card, you can do so by following the instructions listed below.
There are two methods for unlocking the SIM: first, if you know the password, and second, if you do not know and have entered the incorrect password three times, you can use the PUK Code.
- First of all, go to Settings.
- After that, go to Security Option.
- And open the SIM Card Lock option.
- Now click on the SIM whose lock you want to stop.
Now you will be asked for the password, which you had entered while locking; after that, press OK, and after that, the lock will be removed from your SIM.
How do I find out the PUK code?
If you have entered the incorrect password three times in your SIM lock, you will now be prompted for a PUK code with a ten-try limit. If you enter the incorrect PUK code ten times, your SIM will be permanently blocked.
In this situation, you can call customer service at your SIM provider to obtain the PUK (Personal Unlocking Key) code that you can enter on your phone to unblock the SIM card whenever you are prompted for it.
