@Juju89, it sounds like the phone is locked. You shouldn't need a pin to unlock the sim card. Did you buy the phone unlocked new? Some phones that are sold unlocked will lock to the provider of the first sim that gets installed in the phone.

As @ShawnC13 had mentioned, a lot of Samsung phones will SIM lock the phone to the first provider. If you had ever used that phone with any other provider (Bell, Freedom, Rogers, Fido, Virgin or something like that) you will need to purchase an unlock code for the phone.

If you got to redflagdeals they can usually direct you to a reliable and inexpensive unlocker.

I find eBay the cheapest place to buy unlock codes.
