What is a PUK code for sim Tele2?
Previously, there was only one way to unlock access to your phone - a PIN code. After turning on, the device requested a password to continue operation. The user is given three attempts to enter the correct code.
Now PINs have practically lost their relevance. There are several reasons for this:
- Modern smartphones use a different unlocking method.
- You can use a more convenient method to protect access to the device - through a fingerprint scanner.
- Most people don't want to go through two steps of identification when starting up their phone.
There is also a PUK code. Previously, it was used to unlock additional functions in the device. But in modern smartphones it is used exclusively to restore access to the SIM card.
If the user enters the PIN incorrectly 3 times, the card will be blocked. To restore, you will need the PAC code that the device requests. You need to enter it, after which the system will prompt you to set a new PIN.
As you understand, modern users practically do not need PIN and PUK. But what if you used a PIN and need a PAC to restore access? In the future, we will consider a number of ways to recognize it.
Basic information
A Puk code is a special set of eight digits associated with a specific SIM card and used to unlock it. This is usually required if you enter the wrong PIN three times. When turned on, the mobile phone will request the entry of PUK to open access to the card.
Unlike the PIN, it cannot be changed; after purchasing the card, the operator recommends immediately writing it down in a notebook or keeping the card with the data at home, along with other important documents.
If you enter the code incorrectly ten times in a row, the card is completely blocked.
Are there standard parameters?
There is no default Tele2 PUK code! Many users are looking for a standard PAK, believing that it is the same for all SIM cards. But in reality this is absolutely not the case.
A PUK code is created for each card when it is produced. Because it is required for PIN recovery, the company cannot use the default settings for security reasons. Therefore, there is no point in looking for a standard PAK from Tele2, the codes are individual.
Why is a mobile operator's card blocked?
A subscriber is blocked for various reasons. The most common situations:
- the subscriber has not used the number for a long time;
- account balance is negative;
- the owner himself asked to block the number;
- The PIN or PUK code was entered incorrectly.
Lack of funds in your account is not a reason to block your SIM card. With a zero balance, Tele2 subscribers continue to receive incoming calls or SMS. Using a free “beacon”, network users can ask the subscriber to call back. Blocking occurs only if the balance is negative. Most often, mobile Internet users and those who use . To gain access, just top up your balance.
Personal visit
You can come to the salon to restore the Tele2 PUK code. Need to:
- Visit the operator's resource.
- Find the nearest salon on the map.
- Come there during business hours.
- Contact an employee.
- Provide personal documents.
- A specialist will help you perform the restoration and you will receive the necessary data.
The disadvantage of this method is that you need to spend quite a lot of time on the entire procedure. Therefore, few subscribers carry out restoration in the office; it is easier for them to use other methods.
Where to get data
To log into the SIM card after blocking, you need to enter the PAK. But first, the client will have to find out these parameters from the documents. When drawing up an agreement with the company, the subscriber was given a plastic card containing a SIM card. This plastic rectangle will contain all the information that the client requires. Usually the code is hidden under a protective layer; to see the data, you need to erase this layer. The PUK must consist of eight characters.
Another way is to look at the signed contract from the operator. This combination must be stated in the papers. In order not to forget or lose these parameters, you should write them down separately. Before you find out the PUK code of a Tele2 SIM card in the office, you can check the data on the SIM card envelope; sometimes the combination is written there.
- note
- If the user has lost his contract with the company and does not have access to other documents, he will have to visit the salon in person. The company does not provide the opportunity to obtain data through your personal account.

Unlock methods
The mobile cellular operator tele2 has developed several convenient methods for blocking and unblocking a number, but at the same time subscribers will have the opportunity to save their mobile account, as well as the connected tariff and services. The need for blocking may be caused by various situations, for example, it may be theft or loss of a mobile device, and blocking may occur automatically if you do not use communication services for a long time.
The SIM card may also be blocked by the operator, due to the fact that the number may have a large amount of debt. In such situations, clients need to be aware of how to unlock a Tele2 SIM card and restore their number for further use. Often the cause may also be an incorrect PIN code.
Now you can look at all the methods for unlocking a number:
- If a phone number has been blocked due to a negative balance, then it can be unblocked very simply. The client will only need to top up his mobile phone, for the amount of debt and this number can be used again.
- If the phone number was independently blocked due to the loss or theft of a mobile device, in this case you will need to unblock it, but only through specialists from tele2 branded communication stores. There are no other methods to unblock a number. In addition, using the help of employees of branded salons is a universal method that is suitable for many other situations. Clients will need to take a passport and go to any Tele2 salon, then they need to tell a specialist about their problem. After this, the employee will be able to issue a duplicate SIM card, but such a card is not free and will cost 50 rubles. After its activation, the amount that the client paid will be credited to the mobile account, that is, 50 rubles will go into the account. The previous settings and options will be saved on the SIM card.
- In the event that there is no desire or opportunity to visit the Tele2 salon, the subscriber can use a call to the help desk operator. To do a similar procedure, you need to short dial 611. When a connection is established with the operator, you need to ask him how to restore the tele2 phone for your specific reason. In turn, the operator will ask you to name the number and series of the passport, and after that, based on the specified reason, methods will be proposed to solve the problem. The operator will also need to know the locked phone. If possible, the unlocking will take place in a few minutes remotely.
- You can also do the work through the self-service customer service center. To carry out the operation, you will have to go to the company’s website and complete the login procedure in two steps. The first one will require you to register and then enter your login information. Next, you need to go to the section with tariffs and services and go through the voluntary blocking tab. After this, a menu will appear on the monitor screen, in which there should be an unlock key. After pressing the button, the phone will be unlocked, but only if the SIM card was blocked using a special service.
Via email
You can go through the recovery process using email. Necessary:
- Log in to the service to send emails.
- Proceed to create a new shipment.
- Indicate in the text the reason for your request.
- Enter the address in the recipient line
- Send a letter.
- Wait for a response; specialists should soon send instructions to the subscriber.
Processing incoming emails also takes time. Therefore, you should wait for the answer, it will arrive soon.
How does recovery work?
If the subscriber has found the documents and was able to view the necessary parameters for unlocking, you can begin the procedure. First, the client must turn on the cell phone. A data entry field will appear on the screen; enter the 8 required numbers there. After the data has been specified, the system will prompt the subscriber to change the PIN. You should take the advice and come up with a new password. This will allow you to always remember it; it is better to immediately write down new parameters. If you do not enter a new PIN, then every time you turn on the smartphone, the system will ask you to provide PUK data.
- note
- You should not come up with PAC data yourself and enter numbers at random. There are many possible combinations, and it is impossible to guess them. When the parameters are entered incorrectly 10 times, the card is deactivated.
If the client enters the code numbers incorrectly ten times, the SIM card is completely deactivated. To get a duplicate of it, you will have to visit a communication shop, taking with you your passport and 50 rubles. Recovery takes 5 to 10 minutes.
