What do you mean by 'won't work'?

Won't pickup a network
Can't make calls
Can't surf the web
Can't send emails

Have you tried entering bootloader and manually choosing 900/1800? I cant see why it wont work, I am using O2 payg, brand new sims work no problem, I tried 3 other new O2 sims to make sure. My xda 1 works with any sim I insert.

I would like to know exactly what happens when you insert a sim, do you get any signal, even for a second or 2. I would guess that it was a blocked phone but then it wouldnt work with the other sim, I am assuming you made a call when you tested that and that it connected ok.
If the original owner made an insurance claim on the phone it will be blocked on all networks.
