all you need is the standard house key....insert it into the sim card slot and twist it. you might hear what sounds like cracking, but thats how its supposed to work, its the tumblers falling into place.


i <3 you billy...you me and tonee any time...you name it

That's... pretty f**king homo.

How many attempts do you have left Willy?

that was pretty f**king homo. however, i'm slightly intrigued. t-bone if you're game i'm game too

i was down to 3 attempts when i called consumer cellular again. to be continued...

i didnt know iPhones took sim cards...

goes in the top. theres a little pin hole next to the headphone jack. just insert a paperclip and the sim pops out

PUK code is usually printed on your iphone box.

its a 2nd hand iphone. i dont have the box

so i was down to 3 attempts left (no thanks to tony) and i called the provider back and talked to some chick. gave her the story and she looked up the PUK. somehow the last tech i talked to had no idea what a PUK was . punched in the 8-digit code and voila! like magic the phone started receiving emails and text messages like woah

point of the story: if you d**k around with your SIM security settings you'll most likely get locked out of your phone. don't ask tony for help if you do; just call the provider and ask for the PUK code

Nice, thats the think about call reps. Some of them aren't very smart and will just try to bs you so they don't look stupid. So you just have to call back and hope for a good one. Glad you got it working.

hope this thread helps somebody else in the future with this same problem

That's why you never buy 2nd hand phones without the damn box. =D

The stock puk wouldn't work any way. That would be for an att sim card. the op is not using a att sim card.
