It's short-hand for personal unlock key.</P><P>It is to unlock a SIM where the PIN has been entered incorrectly a certain number of times. Entering the PUK incorrectly too many times will result in it being permanently blocked.</P><P>Perhaps get a friend or relative to cross-check that you're entering the correct PUK.</P> Mon, 20 Oct 2025 19:41:41 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Security/My-mobile-does-not-recognise-its-puk-code-How-do-I-overcome-that/m-p/1576323#M15994 bristolian 2025-10-20T19:41:41Z
