Default Anyone good with mobiles?

Bought a Sony Eriscon K700i today and although it worked perfectly well for the guy i got it from it doesnt seem to want to work for me

Doesnt matter what network Sim card i put in, or even if i put in a payg or contract sim it still always comes up with the same display
'Insert Correct Sim Card'

Anyone got any ideas, or anyone local work for a phone company that could unlock it to any network or atleast confirm if it has been or not??

Hmmm, want to get it working or may try and get my money back!!

Ta

The phone has been locked to work with one sim card and the fitting of another card will bring up this message. You didn't get the phone from Dodgy Ken at the pub did you?

Get your money back.

Send your money to me and I will use it to get some proffessional photos done of myself, you know the type, soft focus with a tie dye back drop, possibly in a leather jacket like the ones in Grease.

Then I will get the pics put in key rings and you can have one.
