ICCID number stands for Integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID).These unique numbers are printed on back of SIM card.Any SIM card is identified internationally with this number.If you will look back side of your SIM card you can see ICCID number .It usually contains 19 numeric digits.ICCID number on SIM card is defined by the ITU-T recommendation E.118 as the primary account number of a SIM subscriber.The ICCID number is basically has it’s subparts components.The first 7 digits of ICCID number is assigned for Issuer Identification Number (IIN) of which first 3 digits consist of country code and remaining digits are followed by Issuer Identifier.
Apart from that, ICCID number also contains security authentication and ciphering information,PIN code for usual use and PUK for unlocking the SIM card.

I’m really sorry for late reply, Actually the number displayed on your SIM are not PUK Code. When your device is locked then it asks for PUK code to be entered, which is only provided by the SIM card service provider. Try to contact the customer care of your SIM provider company and tell them about this. They’ll probably verify then provide you the PUK Code.

Thank you for the clarification. So if I understand the article above correctly the numbers I thought were sim and puk codes are actually security/ciphering information which has no use to the consumer. Is this correct? Can I simply replace the sim card with another Verison 4G lte sim to stop the “locked sim enter puk” from popping up randomly on the screen of my ipad3wifi/4Glte? Verison only offers help if I open an account with a credit card or deposit, which I don’t want to do at this time.
