Hello 

 

I'm on a SIM only contract and I am trying to transfer my SIM to a new handset. After a few incorrect attempts to unlock the SIM (I got the incorrect PUK code online I think) the phone is now asking for an MCK code. 

 

I can't find much advice on MCK's online and the helpline didn't help either. Can anyone help me obtain one? 

 

Thanks

I think you are going to need O2 for this one.. the MCK is the 'Master Control Key' ..usually needed after a few 'incorrect inputs' .. that you mention in your post.. if you contact one of their social media channels they'll get you through to the correct department... :

 

You can message O2 on Facebook ( https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter ( https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram ( https://o2uk.co/O2CIG), hopefully they should be able to help.

@RQuigley 

Customer service won't have a scooby what you're asking for.

@lewys-gp @RafaC or @Martin-O2 are the only ones who can help but they will need to request code from Samsung and wait for a reply, si it could be a couple of weeks.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
