Yeah just phone o2 customer care and say you want a USIM. You can transfer you're number and credit, bolt ons or whatever you have on you're account to it.

If you have low or no 3g signal you may find it better adding the 3g network setting to your shortcuts and using it to force onto 2.5g

I do that at home and signal flies up.

unfortunately,locking to 2G (2.5G is a media myth) that means you cant video call or download quickly.

your stuck with a realistic throughput of around 25Kbps... if your lucky, although on O2, as they are about out of 2G capacity, you will be lucky to get that.....

3G would get you around 300-350Kbps at the moment...

oh aye i can get 3g signal, it's just that sat in exactly the same spot it's
at 2 bars where the 2g sim is at 4 or 5. Once you've experienced 3g speeds
there's no going back !!!!

"Forcing" it onto the o2 3g doesn't seem to make much difference.

Make sure that is selected! If it is, im guessing you're just outside of the o2 3G area then.
