@laurawoo 

Texts are usually the last part of the swap to be be provisioned.

Keep rebooting your phone.

It's normally 24-48 hrs @laurawoo but taking longer.

If you need to call O2 then use the numbers in this guide

@Cleoriff I have been in contact with o2 but as I'm a community carer all of my correspondence is via text at minute so really worrying now incase I have done something wrong with phone the only thing not working is me receiving texts so as long as this is normal I can relax

@laurawoo 

As @jonsie  says, numerous people having the same issue with the S20 today.

We have given all the advice we can... so you do need to call O2 on the numbers I gave above
