    Just ask for PAC code from T-mobile and give to O2.

    Just try this. If the phone is unlocked, it will work with the old sim. If it doesn't you can unlock it (free for some handsets). It makes sense to pay for unlocking only if you want to stay with T-mobile.
    Otherwise, if you don't mind switching to O2, do what suggested above. I.e. port your old number to the new sim (and network) using Porting Authorisation Code (PAC).
