Can't use O2 sim - help please!
I've searched the forum high and low but couldn't find an answer to my problem.
I have my own handset, in which I currently use a T-Mobile SIM which is on a UFix tariff. Before the T-Mobile SIM, I used a BT SIM, and I could simply replace the BT SIM with the T-Mobile one.
I now want to use one of the free O2 SIMs in my handset but I get a message "Please use a correct SIM card". This happens with two separate O2 SIMs, both of which I got about a month ago but have never used so far.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Have T-Mobile locked my handset to their network?

It's probably locked, and you could use it with both BT Mobile and T-mobile as BT was an mvno on there for a while.0
