Hi all
3 days ago I signed an upgrade contract with o2 for an iPhone 7. it runs on ios 10.3.2.
the lady at the store said it would take 24 hrs for the phone to connect to the network.
it has been 72 hours and though it shows service bars and the network provider, i still cannot make or receive calls or texts, nor does my mobile data show up. obviously this has been a massive convenience and is quite frankly unacceptable from o2.
i have trawled through the internet for remedies though nothing works, i shall go to the store tomorrow to see why they are so incompetent.
in the mean time, any suggestions?

What happens when you try and call?
Can you send a text with the word "Active" to 2020?
Was this just a straightforward upgrade or did you do it due to losing your old mobile resulting in an account block etc?
Any further info you can give us will help us help you better.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

have you connected the phone to iTunes on your comp via USB lead to see if that will kick start the phone and has full set up been done, if the handset was set up in store take it back to them, sounds like many possibilities but also dont rule out it could be a faulty handset! go back to the store speak to a Guru and see what they can do! it should activate as soon as you put your sim card in but as stated in previous try your old sim card first as the new one might not of activated....
