@HanPan,

The sim swap can in very extreme circumstances take upto 24 hours to complete.

Best thing to do is to keep putting your new handset into Airplane mode, and then out, as this will hopefully kick the new sim into life.

You could always try customer services as well on 0844 809 0202 and follow the information below to speak to an agent.
when it comes to the reason you are calling, stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else

Press 5 for More Options
Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.when it comes to the reason you are calling, stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.

Your old sim is now dead forever, so stop using that.

Put the new sim in the phone and keep turning off and on (rebooting) every 30 mins until it comes online.

Usually no more than 3 or 4 hours.
