Try wiping the contacts between sim and phone and making sure the sim is correctly seated into position.

I sometimes get this on one of my phones (not the nokia one).

A bit of brasso is good for the contact, on both sides.

This message could also mean that your phone has been IMEI barred, at any time in the last week or so have you reported the phone lost/stolen to O2 at all?

Be worth asking o2 to check the IMEI number if the usual sim checks fail. However could be faulty phone / faulty sim or just something as simple as dust and scum on the pins /sim face.
