@Emma20  They both take a nano sim so the old sim card should work in the new phone. A few things you can double check:

- Make sure you put the sim card in the correct way. 

- Make sure the phone is powered off when you're putting the sim card in or restart the phone once you've inserted the sim.

- If the phone is dual sim make sure the sim card is in the sim1 tray. 

 

If none of these work you will have to contact O2 customer services directly.

 

Hope you get it working
