Hi,

I got an A5 Samsung its great its from Virgin 2yr con ect. Then saw a cheaper deal with Tesco on a 2yr with MOTO G 3RD gen.

The 3rd gen is ok but the Sam is easier to use...SO ....I call Tesco to return the 3rdgen BUT Im over my return date so stuck with the 3rd....no big issue but...NOW....Virgin seem to be delaying the Returns bag for their phone...this is not good....the 1st bag did not arrive the 2nd bag did not arrive .....theysay it will arrive by 20th Nov..? I am now unable to get my apps updated on the new 3rd gen without the PUK code from Virgin....its a bummer ....much app data is unable without my PUK code????

Do I simply have to wait until VIRGIN bag arrives or do 'I have any other avenue of option to gain my PUK code?

All good advice welcome,

Do you mean PAC code? A PUK is used to unlock a SIM after you have entered the wrong SIM PIN too many times, which doesn't make much sense in the context of your post. If you want a PAC code from Virgin all you can do is keep pressing them, since only they can issue a PAC for their customers.

But TBH I'm not sure I understand your app update problem anyway. You need a PAC if you are transferring your phone number, but your apps are linked to your Google account not your phone number, and you can put the same Google account on more than one device. And from what you have written your Tesco contract has started already, so presumably you could use the data with that, just that it won't have the phone number that I'm guessing you want (because otherwise I don't see why you care about the PAC). So sorry if I've missed the point, but if so can you explain in a bit more detail?
