Hello,
In case a wrong SIM PIN has been entered too many times, is it possible to fill in the PUK code and let the MAX do its magic?
If not, please move to the request part ![]()

Hi PG,
This is not available at the moment. Anyway this is a good idea
. I will move this thread to features request.
Hello,
Any news on this?
To give more insight, when you use āDisable PINā, the pin code is NOT disabled, merely you donāt have to enter it again. After simswap and put i t back, the pin code is again asked. This is really problematic!
Kr,
May I know which firmware version you are using? Latest firmware version shouldnāt has this problem. Please try on latest firmware version.
Meaning that if I put the firmware, i will not have to fill in pin code again? I guess I will at least once.
The problem you described here is a known issue and fixed in latest firmware version. Please download and try.
PUK unlock would be a great addition!
Also a notification when a SIM is PUK locked as currently it just fails to connect rather than saying āPUK Lockedā
Thanks
I think PUK unlock is more than a great addition. For various reasons, I have a valid AT&T Sim card that has an unknown PIN assigned to it, and no way to determine what it is. I do have the PUK codes but the Pepwave BR1 Mini does not offer a way to unlock the Sim with the PUK codes, so it becomes just another brick so far as this Sim card is concerned. Not a good situation considering how often this is needed in the field.
Could you possibly put the SIM in another device, enter PUK there, unlock SIM, and then move to BR1?
That has been suggested. Iāve looked to see if there is any risk to that, but for one thing the only AT&TT device we have is the Mobley. I could try it in a Samsung Verizon phone but I am not sure if that would screw something else up. Iāve found a link to a device that claims to manage sim cards and allow using the PUK to change the pin number. Iām thinking I will try that as there is no chance of messing something else up.
Is this feature on the road map?
Hello @TK_Liew
Iāll add my voice to this, had to go find a competitors router to unlock someones SIM using the PUK Code.
We may be seeing less of the use of the SIMs PIN though there are still a few organisations using the SIM PIN & PUK Codes for when locked out.
Happy to Help,

Hi Peplink team,
can we get a response?
Iām not sure why there hasnāt been a response on this. It is tentatively on the roadmap for the next FW version, but there is not a guarantee it will make the cut - it is being investigated.
If you have entered the wrong pin for many time, you SIM card gets locked. Now you need a PUK code to unlock it. Get the puk code nad unlock your SIM card now!
Hope it helps you!
Howeer, if you are from hilppines, make sure that your SIM cards are registered. Register SIM Card TM via official registration link. TM SIM Registration process is very simple and easy.
Thanks!
was this ever added? i had to do it many years ago which required a ton of work moving the SIM to a different device.
Yes, if the SIM is locked after too many wrong PIN attempts, you can enter the PUK code to unlock it. The MAX should handle it as expected. IF yuor are a TM sim user, you can find the puk code on sim covering, via TM portal and also via helpline. TM SIM puk code can onlly be a solution to unlock your SIM card.
points to the need for better accessibility of SIM security features. Having a clear PUK code field would save users time and stress when unlocking their cards. In the same way a couple ship name generator simplifies creating fun names, adding this feature would make mobile management easier and more user-friendly
