Yea you been blocked if the phone is for tmobile i know we go in through a couple steps to remove it.... Call into your service provider if tmobile and let them know that you put a lock code on your phone and you entered it wrong to many times and its now nt letting you through anything else on the phone and that you need it

I have not put in the correct pin number because i know it off by heart.Have i been blocked or something because this has never happened to me before.The only other thing i can think of is that i haven't put in any calling credit for a while.
*I know i haven,t put in the incorrect pin number
Thankyou so much cookiemonster.You,ve been a GREAT help.Many many thanks

First possibility: Your phone is locked to a particular network/carrier, and you have a sim from a different network in it. You'll either have to get the phone properly unlocked, or you'll need to get a sim card from the network to which the phone is locked. Since you say you haven't entered a bad PIN number, this is my first guess as to what's going on.

Second possibility: You've locked your phone, and it will require a PUK code to be unlocked. You'll need to get your carrier to generate a PUK code for you; it's based on the sim card. When you get the PUK code, be ready with a new SECURITY code, because your phone will ask you to supply a new one. DO NOT keep guessing; if you put an incorrect PUK code in enough times, it will fry the sim completely; it will be permanantly disabled and you'll end up having to buy a new one. It will NOT harm the phone.

I unlock several of these a day; it's not a big deal, but it can be a hassle if you end up having to get a new sim card.

you blocked ur SiM card this usually happens when u put in the wrong code 3 times then the Sim gets blocked and the fone asks for a PUK code...... U can c da PUK code on the SIM pack which comes with the SIM card....
