If you bought the phone from iD Mobile, then yes your O2 contract SIM should work, ​@Grannymay99

The phones sold by iD Mobile are not network locked.

Mobile phone networks in the UK are no longer allowed to sell locked handsets as of December 17, 2021. This means that any mobile phone purchased from a network after this date should be unlocked and usable on any network. However, phones bought before this date may still be locked to a specific network.
