What happens if I enter the wrong PUK code too many times?

I accidentally entered an incorrect PUK code while trying to unlock my SIM on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Now I am scared of trying again because I have heard that too many wrong attempts can block the SIM permanently. Is that actually true?

The PUK isn't something you can normally guess. Get the exact code from your carrier.

If the SIM becomes permanently blocked, you may need a replacement SIM from your operator, so better not take the chance.

I would suggest stop entering anything and contact your network provider for the correct PUK.

Yes, don't keep trying random codes. There is a limit on incorrect PUK attempts
