T-Mobile does not have Customer Service via e-mail.  You could always take it to your local T-Mobile store for help right away.  The PIN the device is asking for is more than likely one you setup on your device.  T-Mobile can't magically unlock your phone if it us asking for a PIN you created.  

Although doubtful, devices do not SIM lock after a restart unless the SIM unlock was temporary or if the iPhone was jailbroken and the exploit was patched in an update.  If you are trying to use the device with a non-T-Mobile SIM, you need to be a T-Mobile USA customer and the device and your account must meet all of the SIM Unlock Policy requirements.  However, this would not require a code as T-Mobile uses an unlocking app to SIM unlock devices.
