pc of cake -call cutomer service
for all Sims pin code is only good for 3 tries
the PUK code is mich longer number-call cs and they will get it for you to unlock the sim
IF that does not work-- gotta buy sim

Call up the provider ask for a puk code. On some model phones you can retrieve your sim its about a 50 50 shot. If not a sim card will cost around the neighborhood of $20. ALot of times they will refund this money on your bill if you ask for it, but I am not sure if they will because someone was playing with your phone. The last time I called I said it just happened, and they gave it to me.
