Default Motorola phone question

I hardly use a phone when in the car, so the factory motorola phone with handset seems fine for my needs.

The car came with a Vodafone SIM in the slot, its a PAYG card. The card belonged to the previous owner and currently has £3.50 of credit on it, which I found out after registering with Vodafone online. In the long term, I'd like to not keep that number since friends of the previous owner may know it.

With the previous paragraph in mind, I tried my old T-Mobile SIM card, and a new O2 SIM card. Both of these report "SIM card not functional", so I ordered a new vodafone payg SIM card online assuming perhaps incorrectly the kit was locked to Vodafone. New card turned up, and I activated it in a standard phone so I know it works. However when placed in the car it also reports "SIM card not functional".

The other vodafone SIM works, and I could add credit to it. Only thing concerning me is the number is known to others, and the registered address is the previous keeper of the car.

Does the car need to have anything done to register SIM cards or should they just work....
