@Anonymous Have you switched your phone off and back on again? How long ago did you do the swap? It can take 24 hours for it to register on the system.

It won’t start until tomorrow.
Once your old sim switches off reboot the phone with the new sim in every half hour.
It may take upto 4 hours to come online.
