The PUK code is obtained from the network. Don't try and guess it,
entering the PUK wrongly 10 times will permanently block the SIM.

Even more, entering it 10 times GOOD will block the SIM permanantly too.
You can use the PUK only 10 times, good or bad. It's not a resetting counter
like the PIN conter.

What is the source of this information..? I have never heard this before,
fortunately I've never had to enter a PUK 10 times either ;-)
