Hi Ravenhead,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums 🙂
Is it possible you could expand on what's going on here please? When you advise of an unlock code - what is this for? Is it to unlock the handset or the SIM. Also just to confirm, is this a replacement SIM or a brand new SIM?
Cheers,
Ryan.

Hi
this is a new sim and phone is asking for a Sim network PUK

Thank you for confirming - can I ask if your handset is unlocked to all networks and where is the handset from?
Cheers,
Ryan.

It doesn't sound to be - if I am being honest with you. It would only ask for this if the handset is locked 😞
I will send you over a private message just to make sure the SIM is active, but I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Cheers,
Ryan.

The message you put up usually means that an unlock code has been put into the phone wrongly on too many occasions.
I doubt the phone is fully unlocked
