Globe SIM PUK Code – How to Unlock Your Globe SIM

by

A Globe SIM PUK code is a security code used to unlock your SIM card when it gets blocked due to multiple incorrect PIN attempts. If your phone displays messages like “SIM blocked,” “Enter PUK,” or “PUK locked,” it means your Globe SIM cannot be used until the correct PUK code is entered.

This guide explains what a Globe PUK code is, where to find it, how to use it, and what to do if your SIM is permanently blocked.

What Is a Globe SIM PUK Code?

PUK stands for Personal Unblocking Key. It is an 8-digit unique code assigned to every Globe SIM card.

The PUK code is required when:

  • You entered the wrong SIM PIN 3 times
  • Your SIM becomes locked for security reasons

Without the correct PUK code, your Globe SIM will remain blocked.

When Does a Globe SIM Ask for a PUK Code?

Your phone will request a PUK code if:

  • You forgot your SIM PIN
  • You repeatedly entered an incorrect PIN
  • Someone tried to unlock your SIM without permission

Once blocked, you cannot:

  • Make or receive calls
  • Send or receive SMS
  • Use mobile data

Where to Find Your Globe PUK Code

1. SIM Card Holder (Plastic Card)

The easiest place to find your PUK code is the original SIM card holder that came with your Globe SIM.

  • Look for a section labeled PUK / PUK1
  • It is usually printed near the SIM PIN

2. GlobeOne App

If your SIM is registered and active:

  1. Open the GlobeOne App
  2. Log in using your Globe number
  3. Go to Account Details
  4. Check the SIM information section
  5. Your PUK code may be displayed there

3. Contact Globe Customer Support

If you no longer have the SIM card holder:

  • Dial 211 from a Globe number
  • Call (02) 7730-1000 from other networks

A Globe representative will verify your identity and provide your PUK code.
