Here's the most personal Use Case you'll probably ever get out of me:

Fred visits his girlfriend. As he swaps SIM cards with his girlfriend for performance reasons, the new SIM simply doesn't work. He selects the appropriate connection from the Network Manager applet in his panel repeatedly, as it does not seem to work immediately.

After trying unsuccessfully for a while, Fred inserts the SIM card into a mobile phone for more verbose debugging (to "see" what's wrong). The phone reports "SIM permanently locked, enter PUK to unlock"

Fred is pissed, because the PUK to the SIM is in an other town.
