I'm having a BSNL Cellone postpaid connection. My Handset is nokia 1100. Recently one of my friend have set a PIN number in my mobile. After i reboot my mobile it asked for a pin. i asked him the no and he told me that he have set it to 0000. I tried that but it didnt work
After 3 Attemp my sim is blocked and it is asking for a Puk No. I have tried to call BSNL Helpdek. Maybe because of this holiadys i cant get the line.
I have gone to the office, sionce we stay in a very remotre area, the SDE told me to come again on thursday (since he cannot do anything and he have to ask the head office for instruction).

3 days to go and i cant imagine these 3 days without my mobile.

Anyone have a good solution.

Thanks

u shud hav got ur phone by now....anyway,
when ur phone is locked asking for a puk...dont ever try anythng new. Once done...ur sim is blocked permanently and u hav to get a new sim replacement! wait till u get the code from the help desk.

Hutch\Orange service is superb just call the helpdesk and give ur sim no. and they supply the PUK.time taken 2minutes.

just for info. whats the use of PUK or pin code for that matter? anyone can call the helpdesk and get the PUK even if the cell does not belong to u :roll: :roll: :roll:

PUK = PIN Unlocking Key
PIN = Personal Identification Number

no one can just call customer care and get PUK no. u got it quickly cos u had the sim card no. which is the first thing the CCE will ask for. if u dont have ur sim card no. then still u can get it, but u will have to answer a lot of questions of the CCE before he gives it to u.
