PUK Code for LG Thrive needed (now living abroad and want service)

I have been trying to be in contact with AT&T and I feel like I should get a PUK Code for my LG Thrive as I now live abroad and AT&T Service will not help me here... Right now, I am only able to use Emergency Services on the device (as it is Prepaid) and there should be no reason I should not get my code. I understand that if someone had bought the device on contract, there should be limits, but Pay as You Go is different, you are paying the full cost of the phone and so you should be in control of your carrier. AT&T has great service, but I just cannot use that service here and will not pay for using it abroad when I know I will make my move to be closer to family in the Holy Land.
