Sold my new contract phone (LG Viewty) on eBay, sold it, waited.. then got a message from the person who bought it who said, and I quote:
"hi yes it has but i am locked out the phone and it is asking for PUK code
i have read to get this code i need 2 ring orange but orange ask me what sicurity (pin code) was given when you set up the phone but as i didnt set the phone up i will need this code thxs dandraz"
Now it's my understanding that the only reasons it would ask you for a PUK code would be A) you've put your SIM pin in too many times and it's kicked you out or B) you're trying to put a sim card in a phone that's locked to a different network?
It may just be this is an innocent case of durrr, but I'm just a bit concious. The phone is locked to a network and I've sent a message to the buyer saying as such (although it was clearly stated in the listing).
Or is this actually something very common and I'm being a plumb?
