OK, so the shop should have activated the sim, but it can take up to 24 hours to complete.
Turn the phone on and off a few times too to see if it connects and also check the sim is inserted correctly.
If not working by tomorrow, contact customer service to check your account http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

If it is an upgrade, just put your old sim in the new phone.
If it's the wrong sized sim, do a sim swap http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/

FIRST contract then but are you keeping your number or sticking with the number assigned by O2?

Then maybe you need to contact customer service from a landline or check for faulty masts in your area
