SIM Block!?!
My nephew security locks his LG 1300, but when he tried to use his password it wouldn't take it. he tried it 3x, then it asked for a PUK code (I have no idea what that is). He then entered his password again 2x and the phone said SIM blocked, can only make SOS calls?
NOW WHAT?! 😕
When you get a new SIM card I don't believe it will change the security code on the phone. PIN codes, however, are stored on the SIM and reset with a replacement. If the problem arises again, call in for the PUK. After you enter the PUK it requires you to change your PIN code at that point.
PUK = Personal Unlock Key. When you see this request on the phone screent, STOP. Call your service provider and they will get the PUK code for you.

Actually it means Pin Unblocking Key. 😛
No, Acutally, it means PIN UNLOCK CODE. This is the exact terminology for it. Trust me, I work with both Cingular and Former AT&T Wireless accounts. And yes, when you receive the request for the PUK code, you have to call customer care to get the code. If you enter it 10 times incorrectly, the SIM is destroyed.
