I don&#39;t know how long you have had that phone but it is SIM-locked. If you have had it for a year, you can ask O2 for the code to remove the SIM-lock, then it costs you nothing (except for some administration costs)...Then you will be able to use it on any network. You could try contacting customer services for the correct procedure....It is also possible to have the SIM-lock removed through some computer software...you will need a special CD-Rom. You could try googling for that information....
