@Williamsays The easiest way is to try another sim card but the chances are high of it being locked if purchased more than around 3 months ago.

How to unlock is here if it is https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1...

All you data is backed up to Google, not your sim, so you can swap sims and sign in to new phone with your Google account and your data will transfer over automatically.

@Martin-O2 can you fix the link from the index page please?

Edit: Actually the link is fine but when pasted into a post the forum adds additional characters and screws it up.

Must be something to do with chrome then, but nevertheless, yet another forum issue!
