@Emma991 

It's most likely the answer to your security question which you can reset in your MyO2 http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2 

How to unlock here Guide: Unlocking an O2 phone to use a different SIM card 

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

@Emma991 When did you buy the phone? O2 haven't sold locked phones since June 2018.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

If you purchased it in November have you been using it on o2 since? Then it should show in your my o2 for you to request the unlock.
If not, then you will have to follow the process given.

If you put an o2 sim in the phone and it tells you its locked that means its not locked to o2 but locked to another network.

 

You need to determine what network its locked to by trying a sim from each network in the phone.
