No, it won't. You'll have to get it unlocked.

The basic rule is: all UK networks lock their phones except O2 ;-)

It depends on the make and model of the phone. You should have a look through (or search) the unlocking thread and see if anyone else has unlocked that phone. One other option is to ask the guy you bought it from to get an unlock code for you?...
