is the sim card's pin code blocked, or your phone locked to o2?
If the former, enter the puk after switching on the phone.

you need to call vodafone up and ask them to unlock your phone from their network. This may cost you, or you could use SEMCtool and a data cable to unlock your phone - not sure about the method, just know that it works. The code that vodafone will give you is called the NCK code - when you insert the O2 simcard, press left, *, *, left. then go into network and enter the NCK code. Please report back with your finding from phoning vodafone - i hope this helps.
