Everyone:

The code being asked for has nothing to do with the phone being locked to another carrier.  There is no such thing as either a SIM Network Unlock PIN or SIM Network Unlock PUK for any Apple iPhone device. These devices to not use codes to unlock them. That is done at the Apple side of things and there is a database that is checked to determine if a SIM card is allowed to be used in the device. That's why an internet connection is required before an iPhone device can be used at any carrier.

@samaira It wouldn't make a difference if the store was open. The store cannot help you. The SIM card's PUK can only be provide to you by Public Mobile's moderators.

@samaira So you have been using it successfully with Public Mobile until recently?

Is it possible you entered your code incorrectly too many times?

As mentioned by @gblackma earlier in this thread (page 1, second post) you can contact the moderators to get your PUK if it is applicable in your case.

<Edit> disregard this one I see he gave you the information already while I was typing.

@samaira 

Did you put a PIN on your SIM card in the past?  

Here is some more information about PUK:

SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK."
- This is asking for Samsung's "master code" - I got this after entering the wrong code for the message below too many times. Samsung and/or your previous carrier can give you this.
 
"SIM network unlock PIN"
- This is asking for your previous carrier's unlock code - just contact them with your IMEI and they'll give it to you easy peasy. If you enter this incorrectly too many times, you'll get the error message above.

PIN unlock key (PUK) is a SIM-specific code used to prevent unauthorised use of a SIM card.
 
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.

@samaira Were you using this phone with another company, such as Rogers, Telus or other previously. If so you would have to call them to have your phone unlocked.

[geopublic]

@samaira  You need to find the previous provider that phone was used on and ask them to unlock it before you can use it on the PM network.

[samaira]

[samaira]

[geopublic]

@samaira  Most of the time it means that your phone is locked to the previous provider. You need to call them provide the IMEI and ask them to unlock it.

More details would be helpful.  New customer to Public mobile?  Did you port your number?  Which model phone?

Which exact message is your phone showing?  That sometimes makes a big difference.  One possibilitiy is that you phone is locked to previous carrier.  You can phone  your previous carrier to get unlock code.  It is a free service.

@samaira hi if you just signed up it is asking for an unlock code , you will need to contact your previous provider for an unlock code if it is a samsung you can contact directly online for a master unlock
