It's the sim that is blocked if it's asking for the PUK. You can get the PUK in My O2. If you entered the wrong code 10 times you will need a new sim. Any O2 store will replace it for you.

To unlock the phone follow the link posted by @Cleoriff

If you put too many wrong codes in (5 I think) it will be permanently locked forever.
Nothing you can do to reverse that.
If you are lucky it will just be the sim PUK which you can get here https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/unblock-your-phone or can be fixed by getting a new sim.
If it’s a network lock though, it’s toast.

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.
