5210 PUK question

Hope someone can help, I have a Nokia 5210 originally on Orange contract but
now fitted with a O2 PAYG sim. I tried to set a security PIN code but the
phone now shows on power up SIM card blocked - enter PUK code: Is there a
default code as I have never entered any PUK code and would it be an Orange
or an O2 code?? Or does the phne have to be reset and is do how as I cant
access any menus?

Any help greatly appreciated - BTW in the UK

TIA

PUK code is SIM related and is obtained from the network. Contact customer
services (good luck with O2..!)

*DO NOT* enter an invalid code more than *10 times* or you will
permanently screw up the SIM (not the phone).
