You need to have made at least one chargeable call or text in the last 6 months to stay active otherwise if no calls or text from the sim after 6 months the sim then becomes deactivated

Try cleaning the sim card and switching the phone off/on.

Contact O2 if still a problem.

Take the sim card out of the phone and clean it gently with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Sometimes just removing it and putting it back in then rebooting your phone works as well..

Then I think you have to ring Customer Services and ask them for help?

Sounds like you are disconnected - when did you last use the sim to make a call?
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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
