i have just put in my microsim for my iphone and when i try to activate it says 'only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier msy be used to activate iphone. Please insert the SIM that came with your iphone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM card.' i didn't get a sim card with my iphone, could anyone tell me what this means?

Where did you get your SIM card from?

If its O2 it sounds like a dodgy sim you'd have to get a new one sorry.

Either O2 shop or ask on the Phoenix CS and they'll send you one.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told wink

Sounds like phone is locked to a different network...
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Haha I'd of hoped this question wasn't about another carriers device.
