You'll need to do a SIM swap or activation.

the new sim needs to be activated @mrslegoloser
You need to follow the advice above to activate it.
Is it a replacement for a pay as you go (PAYG) or pay monthly (PAYM)?

Please note, this is not customer services and we cannot access your account. Do not publish personal details (email, phone number, bank account).

Call customer service and ask them to activate it.
Live chat have clearly failed to do it.

Give them a call to activate the sim then. It should only take a couple of hours.
