Samsung t401g from Straight Talk locked/SIM blocked? Pleaseeeeeeeee help!!!?

I was messing around with my phone so I could make a lock code and I entered the wrong "PUK" code and I guess the wrong "PIN" many times and now when I turn on the phone it asks for my phone lock code(which I know) and when I enter my code the phone says "phone unlocked" then "SIM blocked!" and it says I can only make an emergency call.
Please help me!!!! I just got this phone yesterday and I don't even have it activated so I dont have minutes or a number or anything.

Unfortunately if a PUK is entered incorrectly around 10ish sort of times then it will completely lock the sim rendering it useless.

There is a few things you can do which is get a new sim either one with a number on it or a blank one and have the number out onto it or alternatively Customer Services can normally send a replacement sim out to you.

What you will definitely need the phone number because normally without that you can't really do much, just try your local phone store see if they can help with a new sim.
