Thanks for your help.

Yes. Before anyone else's SIM will work,  you ill need it unlocked. To unlock it, you need the 'phone's PUK code.

If you've had the 'phone for a year or more, you can 'phone up your provider (Orange, O2 or whoever) and tell them you want it unlocking. They will give you a PUK code (although sometimes you have to wait up to two weeks and it will usually cost around �20) and tell you how to input it.

If you haven't had it a year, then you can get it unlocked 'illegally' (and cheaper) at any of those independent/backstreet mobile 'phone shops in town. Go in, tell them you want it unlocked, and they'll probably charge you about �10 and, if it's a common 'phone, might even do it there and then.

Sometimes you can even find the PUK code by searching your 'phone's make and model (plus the word "PUK") on t'internet.

A PUK code is a code that allows you to unblock your SIM card if you put in the incorrect PIN 3 times. It doesn't remove the the Simlock. You will need a SP Lock Code for this. It can be done over the internet aswell, thats what I did. http://www.unlock247.co.uk/index.aspx
If it's a nokia, you can find unlock code generators on the internet for free. Have a read of
