Friends phone has SIM card locked due to incorrect PUK code entered too many times? Safelink site says it's permanently locked. However; via google I'm seeing that it possibly can be unlocked such as in the link I'm providing. https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-unlock-a-tracfone-sim-card Rather than me researching it and trying numerous methods that won't work, I thought I'd come here and find out for sure if it can or cannot be unlocked AND how to do it. Appreciate it as this person cannot be without her phone due to health. Thank you so much!
atljsf Thanks for the quick response. Yes, this is my friend's phone that she's been using. She legally owns the phone, SIM card and whatever else came with it. So you're saying to call Safelink to answer all of the identifying questions even though Safelink says "Because if you enter the wrong PUK ten times, your SIM card will go into a permanent lock down state.
