PUK blocked


Question Posted Monday May 25 2009, 4:31 pm

i have an LG Shine.
i tried setting the security codes on my phone. but it messed up and wont work.

and on my screen it says " PIN Code Blocked."

and it's asking me to put the PUK code in. i cant find the manual book for my phone. so does anyone know what it is?? i've tried using " 0000 " cause i read in my book to do that. but it still didnt work.

this had happened before..and i really cant tell my mom about it. cause she dosent get technology and stuff. and she'd get all mad and confused.

PLEASE HELP.

( i have a go phone plan if that helps.)

I had this same thing happen. It locks your SIM card because it thinks that someone is trying to take info out of the phone. I had to go to the nearest AT&T store and they had to give me a new SIM. if you tell the guy that it just came up with a code and you tried to put your personal code in and it locked, most likely he wont make you pay for a new SIM (i didnt have to) If you do have to pay for it its about $25. Just have one of your friends take you or have your mom drop you off by one (like if there is a store by target) tell her you want to go shopping at target and after she drops you off go to the phone store. Good luck!

Hope i helped =]

Yeah I have been there. Most phone companies will give you the code if you call them and verify your information. Some phone companies will be stubborn and make you go there personally and ask.

I would say call the customer service line to whom you have service with first. I think all LGs are with Verizon I suppose, so contact them.

Hope I helped.

This happened to my brother 2 nights ago! We had to take it to the store to have it unlocked, because we couldn't figure out the code either =/
