Your SIM card will be locked after inputting the wrong PIN 3 times. The carrier is the only one that can help in this situation. After enter the wrong SIM PIN too many times, you will be prompted to enter the PUK code. This is usually an 8 digit code that also is only available from your carrier. If you enter the wrong PUK code too many times, the SIM will be destroyed, which requires getting a new SIM card from your carrier.

So to avoid having to replace the SIM card, make sure you contact your carrier, where you will have to verify your identity, before the wrong number is entered too many times, requiring replacement of the SIM card.
