Please help.

Phone locked.

Switching to EE.

New sim not recognised. 

Have NUC from Vodafone and PUK from EE. Phone still locked. 

It's been a month. 

I'm a neurosurgeon. I need a functioning phone. 

HELP.

What I think you also need from the Vodafone Social Media Teams via Contact-us-for-account-specific-queries as well as the Nuc you already have now is called a MCK Mastercode also known as an unfreeze code. 

Which is needed sometimes with a Samsung phone to unlock it to all network's. 

The Puk isn't needed as this is to unblock a sim card due to the sim pin 4 digit being inputted too many times when the sim pin security feature has been activated. It's basically designed to stop a person using your sim card in another phone @greenwayfay and had nothing to do with unlocking a phone. It's probably the phone getting confused.

I wish you all the best with this situation.
