    you know the little credit card sized plastic card you break the simcard out of? It should say it on there?

    If it doesn't ring up Virgin.

    PUK stands for Personal Unblocking Key. If you have entered your PIN code incorrectly 3 times your sim card will be blocked and you will be unable to make and receive calls/texts.

    Thats right, only the network can generate the puc (and its different each time you need it).
