Good god, they must've really sucked before!

I solved it now anyway, following some advice in another forum.

Put the SIM in a different phone, switch on and off, put SIM back -
works. Quite bizzare.

Hopefully 3 won't get too arsey with me putting the SIM in a non-3 (but
3G) handset - i didn't make any call on it, but it would still register
with the network.

Now to call O2 and cancel the contract.. no doubt they'll offer me all
sorts of stuff to stay :|
