    Almost certainly ( unless it is an obscure imported one, a second-hand one that may have been blocked ).

    That is what "unlocked" means - any sim, with the possible exception of 3 ( I have no experience of that network.)

    You.d need to get O2 to send you the setting for stuff like MMS and internet as there'd be none in a sim free, but everything should work after that. The setting can be sent vis text to the phone from the network...
