Re: Movistar Pin Numbers
Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I think I will start with a new sim card. Only costs 25e from Carrefour with 19 euros worth of calls, so maybe it's not worth the hassle.
By the way where do I get the PUK number from if I have lost all of the documentation?

The PUK code in this case is the code number that you will be asked for when you have tried to use the SIM PIN number incorrectly too many times. The PIN number is the 4 digit number and can be changed by the phone user. It allows the phone to be switched on by the user entering the 4 digit number. It can be 'overridden' by the phone user by looking at 'settings'. It is just an additional security tool.
For security reasons, it's only the network operator and NOT the phone maker that can legally provide you with a PUK code to unlock your SIM.
Only MOVISTAR can do this.
If this is wrong please explain why.

Whoops sorry you are right , it is Moviestar that supplies the puk number. But like I say its a lot of hassle considering the price of a sim card
unless you had a good phone number, that you needed to keep.
