Re: SIM card is not working

Inese1 · ‎11-05-2020

I’ve got a new phone and a new SIM card with it but on existing number. Didn’t use that number for long time, in case.
So, I put a new SIM card in the phone but it doesn’t work. Tried to send messages to o2, to swap a card, it failed.
Can’t connect o2.... what to do?

The only option is to call O2 at the moment, they will either send you a new provisioned SIM card out, or complete the swap to the one you have.

If you have no mobile you can try calling with Skype etc

Try your old SIM?

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.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
