  • What's a PUK Code?

    A PUK Code is an 8 digit code that a person must use to unblock his phone. A phone is blocked when a person tries to enter a wrong PIN Code several times in a row. However, if this person repeatedly enters one wrong PUK Code after the other, his CHIPPIE SIM-card will be permanently blocked. This means that he can't use his CHIPPIE SIM-card anymore. He must buy a new CHIPPIE SIM-card.

    For a client's own protection and security, we recommend the PIN and the PUK-code to be stored at different and safe places.

  • What's a PIN Code?

    A PIN Code (Personal Identification Number) is a secret personal code of 4 digits that someone can use to block his phone. By doing this, the client prevents other people from making calls on his phone.

    When someone buys a CHIPPIE SIM-card, the PIN Code in the phone is 0000. It's recommended to change this PIN Code as soon as you start using a SIM-card.

    When a phone is blocked with a PIN Code, you must use that PIN Code each time you turn on your phone. If a person uses a wrong PIN Code several times in a row, his phone will be blocked. In this case that person must use his PUK Code to unblock his phone.
