The PUK (Pin Unblocking Key) is used to unblock a SIM. card As a security feature to avoid brute force attacks on a SIM card, the SIM card is blocked after three incorrect password entries in a row.

A PUK is stored on the SIM and is known by the network operator. Although often included with documentation supplied when subscribing to a network, the PUK is generally unknown to the end user - some networks even take the step of monetising PUK codes by offering access to them as a dedicated service.

This flashing envelope icon indicates that the the storage for the text messages in your SIM card is full.
