Uninor (Telenor): Get PUK code & Reset PIN through online or SMS

Entering 3 times wrong PIN code will result in SIM block and request PUK code. If you belong to other network or other country , refer PUK Code Retrieve page to see procedure for your network.

If you got Telenor / Uninor PUK code number issue, you can solve using this procedure.

There is no official methods provided by Uninor Mobile network to get PUK code for the locked SIM card through toll free SMS or through online website.

So, the safest way is to contact the customer care of  Uninor Mobile network and follow the simple Procedure to find your PUK code immediately.
Do not assume your PUK code and enter it wrongly. It will permanently block your SIM card and you have replace a new SIM card with additional cost of around 200 Rupees.

Procedure to know  Uninor Mobile network SIM PUK code :

1.Note the below details in a Piece of paper.

·         16 to 19 digit SIM number which is printed in the back of your  Uninor Mobile network SIM card

·         Your mobile number

·         Your Name in address proof given to them

·         Your Address which is given at the time of buying the SIM card

2.Once you note down all the details, now Call the toll free customer care number 121 or 198 from another Uninor mobile number . If you want to call from OTHER MOBILE  network or landlines to Uninor Mobile network customer care,refer the below list and select number for your state or circle

Stae or Circle	Customer care number to call from other network

Maharashtra ad Goa	9175091750
Uttar Pradesh (East)	9125091250
Uttar Pradesh (West)	9058090580

I suggest to call from other Uninor number itself, because other network costs STD
charges for the Uninor helpline number.

3.Listen the computer voice carefully and wait till the option for speaking to customer care is announced.

5.Just tell the I want to unlock my PUK code , they will ask the details in step 1

Uninor (now Telenor) does not have 3G license in their 6 Circles. So they provide internet only through 2G /EDGE network which is very slow when compared to 3G. If you used to use Whatsapp, Facebook and Simple Browsing then Uninor may suits you.
