How can I find my Orange PUK code and 4 digit ID code to unlock my phone?

[James N]

I bought a Sony Ericsson phone from Carphone Warehouse for Christmas. It's on Orange. However, when I tried to create a SIM lock code, it asked for a 'PUK code', which I don't have. The phone cosequently locked up and demanded this PUK code.

Their website refuses to accept my account password, and hey, guess what? To receive passwords you have to receive a text. Which I can't. Cos my phones locked. Their (rubbish) phone service wants my 4 digit ID code, which I also don't have.

I am going to visit Carphone Warehouse to see what they can do, but I'm beginning to suspect they'll tell me to go to Orange again to ask.

Does anyone know how to retreive either of these codes, a PUK code or a 4-digit ID code? I've desperately searched all over the phone packaging but all I can find are the Serial Number, IMEI, a random unnamed 4-letter then 4-number code and a stupid barcode! I'm beginning to get desperate.

All help much appreciated.

I fucking hate orange too. Didn't get a text with my ID code in, which means I can't top up, which means I can't even send a text to find out what my own number is.

I have the EXACT same problem as the person at the start, i was messing around with my phone and it kept asking for the PUK code, which I dont even know, and I can't phone up orange beacause I dont even know my 4 digit identity code and none of the phone packaging helped either, Now i'm really stuck becuase nobody can help me!
