FYI.... Sim codes.

After each of the last 2 iOS updates, it makes my phone not usable. It asks for SIM PIN or PUK CODE.

it only gives you 3 chances to put in the correct code. Info: Verizon, Phone: iPhone XS. The code doesn’t change, so i made note of it for next time... and i know there will be next time. Verizon gave me these codes... SIM PIN: 1111. PUK CODE: 3665. I used the SIM PIN code each time, and it works each time.

I hope this will save some time and frustration...

I am really not sure what you are try to say.

If you forgot or don't know your SIM PIN

Never try to guess a SIM PIN or PUK code.* The wrong guess can permanently lock your SIM card, and then you would need a new SIM card. If your device asks for a PIN or code that you don't know, here's what to do:

Contact the carrier that gave you the SIM card. If you aren't sure which carrier to call, remove the SIM card and check the card for the carrier's name or logo.
Ask your carrier to help you unlock your SIM card using the default SIM PIN or PUK code.
If you can't unlock your SIM card using the SIM PIN or PUK code or if an alert says, "PUK exhausted," ask for a new SIM card.

*If you enter the wrong SIM PIN too many times, your wireless carrier might be able to give you a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK).

Yes... I just thought I could help others prevent frustration when they have this issue. Because I had it twice, and when I looked here for resolution, the last posting was on 2017. I just thought I could update it.....
