This would be a job for Customers Services. OP probably won't be able to get past DPA in a store in this instance.

You need to do a sim swap here mate http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/

Just follow the link and fill in the details the form asks for.
It will transfer your account to the blank sim you have in your new phone and make it active.

When you have completed the swap as shown above, leave it for a while then turn your phone on and off and back on again. You should find everything working..

@Anonymous Just out of curiosity, who at O2 told you that the sim wouldn't work until the 11th?

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

Yes but the contract is active as soon as you place your order. You need to do the sim swap as advised.

Sounds like you have a faulty sim.
The sim should be activated immediately by O2 so if CS haven't done it you need to ask them for a new one.
