@Maria16  Do not try 1234. It won't work. It's a myth.

@Maria16 you may need to contact Public Mobile. The SIM pin code for all PUBLIC SIMS defaults to 1234. But it sounds like you may be a new customer and your phone is locked. Contact your previous carrier and give them your IME# They can unlock your SIM from there. 

 

Dial #*06# to get your IME#

 

What phone do you have? If it us a samsung you can call samsung canada and also get it unlocked there. 

 

edit: thats weird I didnt see any other responses???

@gblackma I like the response, much cleaner and straight to the point! 👍

@Maria16 if you just inserted your PM SIM  into your phone for the first time  and it asked for a SIM unlock code then it's locked to your previous provider and you have to contact them to get it. Dial *#06# on your phone to get your imei number. They will ask you for it.

 

If you had your phone for a period of time, you lock yourself out and it asked for a puk code. You have to contact the moderators and ask them for it. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

@Maria16 what type of PUK code is it? 

 

  • if you have a sim pin and you've entered it wrong 3 times, this will give you a PUK code
