Sim network pin blocked. Enter sim network PUK - what is this and where do I get the codes?

I have been struggling with unlocking my phone with AT&T for a month now.  They have provided the same unlock code multiple times which never worked.  Now the phone is asking "Sim network pin blocked. Enter sim network PUK".  AT&T is saying that I need to get this PUK from the new carrier.  However, the phone is locked by AT&T. 

1) What exactly is this message

2) What codes do I need and

3) Which carrier needs to provide the codes to unblock and unlock my phone? 

Thank you.

I suggest moving to another cellular provider.  AT&T never helped me resolve this and although I still have this phone, it might as well be in the garbage as it is still locked by AT&T and unusable.
