Unlock Nokia 3310 - Get PUK Code & Bypass Problem

AI Thread Summary
When a SIM card is locked, it requires a PUK code to unlock it, which can typically be obtained from the mobile service provider if not included with the user manual. Entering the PUK code incorrectly multiple times can result in the need for a new SIM card. The locking mechanism applies to the SIM card itself, not the phone, meaning that if a SIM card is locked in one device, it cannot be used in any phone until unlocked. Conversely, an unlocked SIM card can be used in different devices. Additionally, some mobile providers may lock phones to only accept their specific SIM cards, limiting compatibility with other networks. For those interested in learning more about cell phone hardware, online resources are available, though specific recommendations were not provided.

I was fiddling with my Nokia 3310.
SIM card got locked!
Its asking for PUK code:
How can i bypass it ?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
what were you doing? entered the PIN wrong?

usually there's no bypassing. Ask the customer support from your network for the PUK if it was not provided with the mobile user manual or something. Try to enter it right. If you enter the PUK wrong 10[edited after more reading] times you will need another SIM card.

I solved that problem.
I had to call my service provider and ask for that PUK code.
But i have a doubt.!
If i lock the CARD say SIM1 in a cellphone say CELL1.

Now if i remove the card and put it in CELL2 will it work >?

And if i put SIM2 from other service and put it CELL1 will it work ?

To be short...
What does it actually do ?
Does it lock in the cell or the SIM card ?


Is there any online resource where i can learn abt Cell Phone Hardwares ??
 
as I remember if you enter the PIN wrong the SIM is locked. so basically you couldn't use any phone with your blocked SIM. However you can use the phone with another unblocked SIM.

I can't be sure if your SIM2 from another provider works with your phone. Some providers also lock phones so they woudn't work with SIMs that does not belong to them ...

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
