When the owner of a cell phone dials the wrong PIN number from the SIM card three times, the system blocks the SIM card and requires a PUK code. How easy is it to find out the PUK code of an MTS SIM card? In the event that the documents from this SIM card have been preserved, then this will not be difficult to do. You just need to find a plastic card from the SIM card, it is on it that the correct pin number and the so-called puk code are written, and just enter eight characters.

What is a PUK code?

PAK is a personal unlock code assigned to each SIM card. You have 10 attempts to enter it. It consists of eight characters. The phone asks to enter it if all three attempts were used when entering the pin code, and even on the third time the pin code number was entered incorrectly. There is no point in trying to guess the combination. What to do if this plastic has long been lost. What should you do if you do not know the puk MTS code? There are several ways to solve this problem.

Unlock methods

  1. A call to an MTS consultant. From a phone with access to the MTS network, dial 0890 or 0880. This call is free and is available even for blocked SIM cards. Wait for an answer from a specialist. Give the phone number and passport details of the owner, or a code word. These simple steps are enough for the online consultant to tell you how to find out your PUK assigned to this number.
  2. Visiting the nearest MTS center When it is not possible to call, what to do if you do not know the MTS puk code? You can go to the communication salon of this company. The only condition is that the person for whom the number is issued must appear with a passport. Specialists on the owner's passport will be able to suggest how to unlock a bunch of code on MTS.
  3. With the help of a personal account on the Internet How to find out a fart on your own, having only access to the Internet? To return the work of a SIM card via the Internet, you need to log in to the MTS user's Personal Account. Go to the section "Personal settings" item "SIM card". In this section, both the pin and the pack will be written. Mobile internet will work too.

Using one of the three described methods on how to unlock a bunch of code on MTS, it is easy to return access to the SIM card.

If the wrong bunch was entered 10 times, and the SIM card was blocked, this is also not a problem, you can restore it. But here, just a phone call or the Internet will not help. You need to visit the MTS salon and request a duplicate of it.

Puk code Tele2 is an 8-digit security code for a SIM card. In this article, I will immediately tell you about 5 ways to restore it for free.

Pin code, Puk code… when I first saw these names, it was funny to me at first :) In fact, PUK is read as PAK. As you understand, this article is about how to recover puk code. Earlier, I already wrote an article about what is . To begin with, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with it.

The PAK code differs from the PIN code in a number of ways:

  • the length of the pack code is 8 digits, and the pin is only 4;
  • the pin code can be changed, the pack cannot be changed, only through;
  • the pin code is known only to you (unless, of course, you told it to someone), the pack code can be called in the help desk.
  • If you make a mistake 3 times when entering the PIN code, only the PIN code is blocked, but if you make a mistake 10 times when entering the Pak code, the SIM card is blocked.

In general, a PIN code is needed to protect the SIM card from access by third parties, and a pack code is needed to protect the SIM card from access by third parties who do not know the PIN code.

Is it possible to disable the Tele2 PUK code request?

No, the request for a pack code cannot be disabled, but you can disable the PIN code request, then the pack code will never be requested. In order to disable the PIN code on the iPhone, you will need to enter the phone settings, go to the “Phone”, SIM-PIN section.

For Android devices, the path is slightly different: Settings - Location and security - Set up blocking.

If you have disabled the PIN code request, but when you turn on the phone, the password is still requested, then the phone has protection installed on the phone itself. Yes, device manufacturers provide their phones with such a function, you can disable the security code request through the device menu in the same way as disabling the pin code.

How to recover Tele2 PUK code?

There are several ways:

  1. Contact by phone.
  2. Find a plastic wrapper from a SIM card or a box from it, as a rule, a PAK code is written on them. The standard pin code for tele2 is 0000 (four zeros).
  3. View the contract, if, of course, it has been preserved, which is unlikely :).
  4. Come to the Tele2 communication salon.
  5. You can still try, but at the date of publication of this material there is no such possibility (I checked it myself). Nevertheless, I know that at MTS you can see the PAK code through your personal account, maybe Tele2 implements such an opportunity.

There is no other way to restore the pack code. Do not even try to pick it up - it's useless, an 8-digit code means 10,000,000 combinations, and you only have 10 attempts. If you block the PAK code, then such a SIM card is only subject to replacement, which will be paid, although in your article about

Articles and Lifehacks

If you do not know how to restore the Beeline puk code after unsuccessful entry attempts, then your SIM card will remain blocked until you find a way to solve the problem. And there are only two ways:

  • Call the operator and, explaining the situation, ask to restore the code.
  • Come with a passport to the nearest Beeline office, where they will help you in this situation.
Also get ready for the fact that you will have to answer some questions from the operator or Beeline office employee regarding how much money was left in the account until the moment of blocking or how long you have been using this SIM card.

If you can confirm that the SIM card is really yours, then the operator or company employee will dictate a new puk code to you.

Recovery through the operator

To request a puk-code by phone from the operator, you need to:
  1. Call 0611;
  2. Listen to information in automatic mode without pressing any keys;
  3. Wait until you are connected to a real specialist;
  4. State the essence of the problem;
  5. Dictate passport data, the phone number on which the SIM card was blocked, and your last name, first name, patronymic;
  6. Answer some questions asked by a company employee.
After that, the operator will dictate a new puk code to you, with which you can unlock the SIM card.

If you do not remember the passport details that were specified when applying for a SIM card, or if you are not its owner, you will not be able to restore the puk code in this way. Most likely, you will have to issue a new SIM card.

Office code recovery


You can also go to any Beeline office and ask an employee to help restore the puk code. In this case, as with the operator, you will need to:
  • Announce your passport details, phone number, last name, first name and patronymic;
  • Answer questions about the state of the account before blocking the SIM card and name the actual period during which you use it.
If all answers are correct, then the company employee will give you a new puk-code, and you can apply it. If your answers cause some doubts, then your request may be denied. And then you have to issue a new SIM card.

Restoring the PUK code is also possible when calling the Tele2 support service. To call from a mobile connected to the Tele2 network, use the free short number. If necessary, you can also call the local city number of the company (all regional numbers are published in the section). To call directly to the support service operator, wait until the autoinformer calls all the items of the voice menu, after which you will be transferred to a company employee. The operator will ask you to name the number to which you are restoring access and the owner's passport data.

We also advise all subscribers to clarify in advance who their number is registered to and re-register it for themselves at the service center (presence of both parties is required - the current owner of the number and the one to whom it is re-registered). If the contract has been lost, you can clarify the information about the owner in your personal account of the Tele2 subscriber, on the official website my.tele2.ru. As the owner of the number, you can easily regain control of it in any situation.

Entering the PIN incorrectly causes the SIM card to be blocked. And you can only unlock it with a PUK code. How to find out the PUK code of an MTS SIM card?

Help desk consultants have to listen to questions like this hundreds of times a day. When printing sets with SIM cards, we often send unnecessary pieces of paper and card bases to the trash, losing access to the code. And this is what we create the subsequent problems.

Finding out the PUK code of an MTS SIM card is as easy as shelling pears. To do this, you need to find the same package with the connection on which this code is written. Most often, it is printed on a plastic base, from which the SIM card is separated. Once you know the PUK code, enter it into your phone and wait until it asks for a new PIN code. After setting the PIN code, the SIM card will be unlocked and the phone will turn on safely - you can make calls and use communication services.

When buying a connection kit, you need to take seriously the storage of the plastic base on which the PIN code and PUK code are written. Otherwise, you will have to contact the MTS subscriber service. But how can support consultants know this code? The thing is that it is static, tied to a specific SIM card. And the data about it is stored in the billing of the operator.

To find out the PUK code on MTS, just call 0890 or 8-800-250-0890. Give the contact center consultant your phone number and dictate your passport details. After successful identification of the subscriber, the consultant will call the coveted PUK code. By the way, a similar operation can be performed at the nearest service office - when you visit the office, do not forget to take your passport with you.

If, after blocking the SIM card, you decide to throw it away, do not rush to be upset - you can return your number by contacting the nearest service office. Here you will be asked for a phone number and passport, after which they will issue a duplicate SIM card with a new PIN code and a new PUK code.

What is a PUK code

What is the PUK code for and what functions does it perform? It is designed to unlock the SIM card in case of an incorrect PIN code entry. This is a digital password consisting of 8 digits, while the PIN code has only 4 digits. If the user makes a mistake when entering the PIN-code while turning on the phone, the SIM-card is blocked - only three attempts are given to enter it correctly.

When the SIM card is blocked, the phone starts asking for the PUK code, without which the SIM card will not be able to work further. Even if you move it to another phone, the result will be the same. Having found an eight-digit PUK code on the plastic base of the SIM card, you must enter it in the request field and press the confirmation button. At the next stage, we come up with and enter a new PIN code twice, after which we wait for the phone to turn on.

If you want to get rid of the PIN code request, use the corresponding menu on your phone and turn off verification - this will require you to enter a valid PIN code. On Android smartphones, this item is located in the "Security" or "Privacy" menu.

We have already said that the PUK code is tied to a specific SIM card. We cannot change it, such functionality is not provided. When contacting the MTS contact center, the consultant can see the PUK code attached to the SIM card and dictate it to the subscriber.

By the way, only 10 attempts are given to enter the correct PUK code. Don't try to guess the code as it's almost impossible. If you see that the code does not match, please contact support or look for the correct PUK code.

If the PUK code is entered incorrectly more than 10 times, then the SIM card will be permanently blocked - you can regain control over the number only by obtaining a duplicate SIM card at the nearest MTS subscriber service office.
