How to enter a PUK code into a ZTE Blade/Orange San Francisco

[scubbla]

Hey all

I accidentally PUK locked my GG sim whilst messing around with a ZTE Blade running Cyanogen Mod 7. It was easy enough to obtain the PUK from GG but entering it into the phone proved to be a bit of a chore to say the least.

For those of you who are experiencing similar problems I have now found out how to do it. Please see below:

Touch the Emergency call button at the bottom/middle of screen of your phone and enter this with the keypad

**05*<PUK Code>*<enter a new pin>*<confirm the new pin>#

Example input: **05*123456789*1234*1234#

I'm not sure if this will work on a stock ZTE Blade but it may help some of you who are stuck.

Hope this helps!!

Thank you so much, that is brilliant! Just switched to giffgaff today and was preparing to throw my San Francisco phone out the window in frustration when I couldnt find out where to put the PUK code in.
