No.

After my experience with the Aldi SIM where I didn't note the PUK, I was CERTAIN that the first thing I saved was the PUK and the PIN.

In fact, I believe I still have the printout of the numbers that the Poste clerk gave me when she registered my SIM purchase. I saved that number in my laptop as well as the phone number (which isn't always apparent in the various menus).

Now, thinking about it, the one possibility is that my Nokia, which has a QWERTY keypad, uses a modifier key to change some of the letter keys to numbers.

Maybe I didn't consistently hold down that modifier key (and it doesn't display in the PUK or PIN prompt fields which characters you're entering).

But the other thing is, usually the phone will know when the input is numeric, you don't need to hold the modifier key down. Like when you're dialing a phone number.
