My Sim was working on S6. now I move it to S5 and it is asking me for the PIN to unlock it. I used the PUK pin from my Fizz account but it says not correct.

    Is you S5 unlock ? Can he support the fizz network ?
    You can get more help if you contact Fizz on messenger.

    yes, my S5 is unlocked.
    I'm waiting on messenger since 3 hours now.

    Are you sure that the S5 is unlocked, because that sort of message sounds like it is locked to a previous provider.

    yes, I'm sure. I bought it used and unlocked. and I was using it with Chater.

    Keep in mind chat-r is a Rogers subsidiaries, so it's possible that a Rogers/Fido phone would work fine on other subsidiaries of the same network, can't you contact the original carrier and ask them for an unlock code? It should be free now.

    How many times did you tried the Fizz Puk code? If you enter the incorrect PUK code 10 times, your SIM card will be permanently blocked. You will need to order a new SIM card. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-do-i-use-puk-code-to-unblock-my-sim-card
