    how do you mean its blocked? blocked as in you put the puk in wrong or disconnected from the network? if you put the puk in wrong too many times you can't get the numbers but if its just been disconnected it'll work in a sim card reader

    Can any one help. My o2 phone locked up on saturday and o2 could give any assistance in un blocking even with PUK Codes. They informed me that I would have to get new sim. A Mate of mine gave me a loan of Sim Card reader but when I out the card in to recover numbers It wont allow me.

    I have some really important numbers here and wondering if it is possible to get them back.

    Any help

    Look just bring it into an O2 shop and tell them their's a problem with the sim which they'll replace and they'll copy ther numbers over for you.

    Oh just in case you wiped the sim or deleted the numbers accidentally you can log on to O2's web site and check your call and text history assuming you rang or text these numbers at some stage.

    Nah, if you've entered the PUK code in wrong too many times, you won't be able to access anything stored on the SIM.
    So it's time to start asking your friends for their numbers again I'm afraid.

    you could ask o2 to give you a print out of all your recently dialled numbers. its not something they normally do but they have access to them and its possible for them to do it. i know they have access to them because if a person hasn't registered their phone they verify them by their recently dialled numbers so if they say they can't do it they're lying. you won't get all your numbers back that way but who needs numbers you never ring anyway

    Easier to signup for "My Account" on www.o2.ie and get your call history that way.
