Swapped my SIM one week ago my number has moved to my new sim for voice calls but I still can’t get or send text messages. Any ideas.

@Mournedoc Apparently text messaging is the last function to get enabled, and sim swaps have been running very slowly during the current crisis. All you can do is keep rebooting your phone, and your texting ability will eventually come back. If it doesn't you will have to call customer service.

If using an iPhone, check your number in Settings >Phone >My number

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.

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