Find your PUK: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/where-to-find-your-puk
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) enables secure access to the SIM card and network. It is provided with your SIM card.
If the PIN code is entered incorrectly 3 times, the phone is locked (except for emergency calls) and requires a PUK (Personal Unlock Key) to reactivate it.
Once the PUK is recovered and validated, you will be asked to choose a new PIN.
Only Public Mobile's Customer Support Agents (CSA) can give you this type of code, which the device manufacturer cannot.
Caution! If the PUK is entered incorrectly 10 times in a row, the SIM card becomes unusable.

what was the exact error message?
There are different PUK errors, depending on the type and the error message, it needs to be handled differently
If it is a Samsung and if the message is "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK." ,
call Samsung 1-800-726-7864, The only info you will need to provide for a master unlock was the IMEI and where the phone was purchased
If the message is “PIN unlock key (PUK)” or "Enter PUK Your SIM cannot be accessed" or on an iPhone's status bar showing "Locked SIM"
open a ticket with PM Support using this direct link: https://urlshortner.tiia.ai/Oyn1L6
**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened. CS Agent will reply you there
If the message is "SIM network unlock PIN" or on an iPhone's About->Carrier Lock showing "SIM locked"
You have to ask the carrier where you got the phone from for the carrier unlock code. (PM would not be able to help with this)
