Changed from pay as you go to pay monthly. I have filled in the form and all, lost signal in my old sim so put my new sim in my phone and I haven’t had any signal for the last 24hrs. Tried turning my phone off and on again and tried taking sim out and putting it back in again multiple times but still don’t have signal. Can someone tell me how to get signal or when I can expect to get signal?

SWITCHING FROM PAYG TO PAY MONTHLY

 

Fill in the keep my number form. You'll need your temporary Pay Monthly number from your O2 confirmation email or sim pack. We’ll transfer your number within one working day (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, excluding bank holidays). If we receive your code after 5pm, you’ll switch within two working days.

On the day of the switch, your Pay As You Go sim will lose signal. When this happens, put your Pay Monthly sim in your phone. If you don't have signal, switch your phone off and on every couple of hours until you get a signal. If you still don't have signal by 6pm, contact us.

Texts and picture messaging can take up to 24 hours to work after the switch.

So as you have been over 24 hrs you need to contact O2.
