How to retrieve the Fastweb PUK code
If our SIM card or our device are disabled, it is very likely that this block was a consequence of an error we made, such as inserting the PIN code incorrectly for more than three consecutive times.
If this is the case, then there is nothing left to do but try to recover the PUK in all possible ways, the only code capable of saving the unpleasant situation.
Below are all the methods known to be able to recover the PUK of the Fastweb telephone network:
Check the plasticized holder of the SIM
The first and intuitive step to take to make sure you are in possession of the Personal Unblocking Code is to go to check the sales package of the SIM card.
At the time of purchase, the phone card is presented to us set in a plastic support, which also shows two important codes, the PIN and the PUK, which are used to manage the privacy of the SIM itself. These two series of numbers are covered with a silver patina and must be jealously guarded, away from prying eyes.
Here, then, is where you can find the Fastweb PUK. If the purchase packaging has not been thrown away or has not been lost, there is no need to look elsewhere.
Access the MyFastweb customer area
Fastweb dedicates a special area to its customers to allow anyone to manage their own SIM and the related offers applied to it in total autonomy.
Accessing this page is very simple and fast, you just need it register on the fastweb.com website and proceed by logging into the MyFastweb customer area using the appropriate username and password.
Once logged in, you can choose the number you want to check from the drop-down menu, in case you have more than one SIM card. After that, just follow the instructions that are provided to reach the "PUK" item and discover the much desired eight-digit code.

How to use the Fastweb PUK code to unlock the SIM
After many adventures we managed to get hold of the much desired PUK code, how should it be used now?
The sequence of numbers that must be typed on the phone at the time it is requested is the following:
** 05 * PUK * NUOVOPIN * NUOVOPIN #
Then, to confirm, press the key to initiate a phone call.
At this point the phone and card should be operational immediately.
We would like to remind you that when mistakes are made when entering the found PUK code and the new PIN, the SIM may block again and, this time, permanently. We specify that they can be carried out ten attempts, after which it will be necessary to change the phone card.
