Ordered a p&g data sim yesterday.
Got a txt to my phone saying activate sim by texting "swop" to #####.
How do you do texts on a mifi device or can I activate the sim from a O2 enabled phone then transfer to mifi device?
Mifi is a Huawei E5770s

Thanks in advance for any help.

@Kwaka 

If you hhave ordered a data sim, why would you want to swap the number?

Just put the sim in the device and follow the guidelines here

I dont want to swop my number. That was the text message i was sent whilst waiting to recieve my data sim this morning.

 

Will follow your guide when it arrives but had already set up a O2 account for my spare O2 mobile pay and go sim. 

So already have a O2 account. Guessing now have to make another account for the MBB sim as see no way to add to my existing pay and go account. 

Guessing will have to find yet another email to use.  Device linking to pay and go accounts suck, unless you know how to link a P&G sim only phone account with my new (yet to arrive) P&G MBB sim/device?

 

Couldnt find any links on My O2 page.
