No you need an unlatching request.
Pop your o2 sim back in and follow the advice on this thread.

However, if your daughter is also on O2 you don't need to do anything except resetting the phone (if iPhone, remove old iTunes account)

Not if the sim is no longer in it as it will request an unlock for the 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.
