I have inherited my wife's iPhone 4. I have a new sim but the phone is still locked to her account. How do I unlock it?

Is this an O2 sim you have?

If you mean her Apple id she needs to deregister the device and you need to set it up as a new phone under your own id .

Just factory reset the phone to clear all her data and when phone reboots choose the option to set up as a new phone.
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.
