I just recently acquired an iPhone with no cellular service to replace my iPod Touch. I thought that it would solve the only texting iDevices problem but it didn't. I also have a few questions about PUK codes. My deactivated iPhone 5 used to have AT&T 20.0 but I cancelled my payment so I only am on WiFi. It keeps on asking me for my PUK code but I have no cellular service. What do I do?
iPhone 5, iOS 8.4
Hello, rd1walker.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you have questions about the PUK or Personal Unlocking Key. You may be asked for this key when a passcode or SIM pin is set and entered incorrectly. You would need to contact the carrier for the SIM card to acquire the PUK code. Below, you will find the best two articles that explain the PUK code and how to use an iPhone without a carrier plan.
