I was in that much excitement that I forgot to swap my sim before wiping my old phone. Is there anything I can do as I can’t currently receive calls or texts.

O2 and Apple send texts to my number but my new 5G sim does not receive the texts and I have cleared the old phone.

Thank you but other than going in to a store all these solutions suggest texting a number or to be sent an activation text. I am currently unable to send and receive texts.

@Iain3 

I'll tag one of our account advisers @O2Lisa to see if she can help.

Will be on tomorrow at 8am.

@Iain3 

Just skip through the setup on your old phone and it will then allow you to receive texts on your old SIM.

There's no need to follow the setup routine fully. 

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Will my o2 contract work with my cellular Apple Watch, do I have to do any thing to make it work?
