Customer Question

How do i get a PUK number for an inactive Pantech cell phone. It is my old phone from when I upgraded to an Iphone. We have moved to Costa Rica and want to use the Pantech, put a SIM card in from the local provider (Kolbi ICE), but phone is locked, asking for PUK #

 



Already Tried:
A PUK nubmer from AT&T, but it did not work due to that number being assigned to my current Iphone

Hi there, and welcome to JustAnswer, I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

The PUK code is linked to the SIM card, not the actual phone.

Kolbi ICE will need to provide this. The PUK code appears when too many incorrect attempts have been performed on the SIM card.

Only Kolbi ICE will be able to provide this. If you can contact them please, they will provide you the code to unlock the SIM.

If you have any difficulties, please do not hesitate to let me know.
