Phone unlocking

Options
Hi, I have my unlock code from O2. I can't find anyone locally who has a nano sim I can borrow to put in my phone to enter the unlock code. If I buy a sim from a shop will it work (will it have to be registered first?)
Thanks in advance!

    Order a PAYG SIM online for free, most but not all networks provide them without having a paid bundle included.

    You can put any none O2 sim in the phone its only so the bit where the code goes comes up afaik once you put the code in and it unlocks you can give the sim back if you borrow one then give it back.
    Or you could get one free online like eDicky said just go to 3,vodafone,EE most send them out free.
