Yes your o2 sim card should work in the phone @Martin12345

If you get any error messages about it not working then the phone might be locked to EE, in which case you would need to ask them if they can unlock it.

As far as I know, EE still lock their phones and cannot be unlocked until the end of the contract.

@MI5

I'm not sure that is correct :-

"Why unlock your phone? Mobile providers are now banned from locking devices to their network. But if you purchased your phone through a network before December 2021, chances are it'll be locked to that network – if you try to put another network's Sim card in, it simply won't work".

That is from :-
