What is a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) Code?

A PUK code, short for Personal Unblocking Key, is a unique eight-digit code used to unblock a SIM card that has been locked by a network operator. Operators lock a SIM card when an incorrect SIM PIN has been entered multiple times. The PUK code is also known as the Network Unblocking Code (NUC) or Personal Unblocking Code (PUC).


The PUK code is usually found in the documentation or the card holder that the SIM card came in. If you have misplaced the packaging, contact customer care by calling 612 (available 09:00 AM to 10:00 PM EST from Monday to Saturday and 10:00 AM to 08:00 PM EST on Sundays) from your Lyca Mobile handset. You can also chat with our virtual assistant LIA (available 24/7) for support.
