Hello, my phone keeps locking itself and I need to get a PUK code. Tried registering on the site to get one, but when I registered for a account, it never sent the temporary password to my email. So now I can't even get into that account. Any help?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yeah I still have 10 attempts left. I'll have to call tomorrow since customer service is closed for the night. Or go to the AT&T store.

Employees at a store likely wouldn't do much if anything at all. When my phone/SIM was blocked by a PUK code last summer, I took it in to an AT&T authorized retail store and they did little as tell me to call customer service. Calling CS would be a better bet, in my opinion. But it's your choice, of course.

Really? Because I went there today for the same reason and they were pretty helpfull. My stupid phone somehow re-locked itself after rebooting from a update when I got home. I'll probably just call customer service tomorrow. Thanks

It also could be that it was just an authorized retail store - the employees that work there are just salespeople who are there to interest customers into AT&T services and are not a type of troubleshooting source. An actual AT&T store would likely be more willing to help out the customer, I would think.
But you're welcome.

"AT&T authorized retail store"
Corporate stores can help with PUK code at any time, people should stay away from so called "authorized" retailers in general.
