What model of phone are you wanting to unlock may I ask ?

A Puk has nothing to do with unlocking a phone to all networks and is instead only needed if a person has activated the sim pin feature in the phone to stop the sim being inserted into another phone and has inputted that too many times wrongly.

I have seen past threads from people saying they are told a Puk is needed which I believe is a red herring. 

I'm asking what model of phone your unlocking because some also need a master code also known as an unfreeze code as well as the Nuc
