It appears so billy, the SIM you have, may not carry the voltage required from the new handset. You might be best just popping into an O2 shop to get it checked out.

Certainly worth replacing the sim - you can either pop in to your local store or order online, in store is done on the spot and they will sort the sim-swap there and then, so you should be up and running in less than an hour
