SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK

[mamamiaze]

Hi team,
I've an issue with my device Samsung N950FD (Galaxy note 8). After inserting a SIM card, i got a message of Network Lock "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK". The mobile works fine with Swedish and french SIM card but actually i'm in Algeria and it's not working. I've installed the correct Firmware CSC TMC algeria (N950FXXUGDVG5_N950FOXMGDUGA_TMC).
Any help please ?

the best way is to contact your carrier operator or customer care.

btw default PUKs are 1234, 0000, 12345, 00000, etc. but it'll only give you 3 chances to unlock (as happened with me) and then lock it completely.

It's not a SIM lock or SIM PUK. It'a a Network Lock (SIMLOCKED). Unfortunately, i'm actually in Algeria for work (1 month). also, I cannot contact Swedish operator since im using the phone in france

What is wrong with showing someone how to get the results they are looking for whether paid or free? This is XDAs problem. You guys don't want any competition or anyone really helping anyone without being involved with the help process. You are your own worst enemy XDA, and this is why people are leaving this site and never looking back.
