If o2 have unlocked it legitimately take it back to them to sort it or get them to give you a new one as they've obviously screwed it up. If it was unlocked by some dodgy second hand shop or market trader it's gonna cost and no network will offer support for it. Also if you develop any faults with it due to shoddy manufactorin no authorised service repair centre will touch it as they can tell if it's been unlocked via hackin etc

What network are you on?

And as said above if it only started doing that after 02 unlocked it then ring them back up and tell them.
If you have a 02 sim use that to call them as its 35p a call that way, if not its international call charges

Have you tried restoring it with iTunes? Is it native to o2? If it is then restoring it shouldn't re-lock it. I believe it's only un-authorised unlocking that iTunes resets

Correct, if 02 unlocked it then its unlocked forever, no matter what you do with the phone.

Where as "un-authorised" unlocking can be un-done easily and sometimes accidently
