Are you referring to "Unlocking" your phone or the PUK code for the SIM card. If you are prompted for the PUK code, you can only get it from your cellular provider by calling customer service.

Does the PUK Code unlock Motorola phones. A retailer told me the SIM card (stores all your info) is what's preventing me from unlocking the phone, "it's lock up," she stated. If the code is call PUK??? than what is the SIM/PUK CODE? Does anyone esle have it other than customer service, they give me the run around or some Reps say it's burnt.
