Hello! 

so my phone was stolen at the weekend and I got a replacement SIM card for it yesterday. I still have no data and it’s been over 24 hours. When I spoke to someone at o2 they said something about calling them and something about barring or something? But I didn’t know what they meant. Only thing is I can’t call as I don’t have a phone with data…

It is correct that an account bar needs to be removed before your sim will work, as it is your account that is locked.

Call O2 again and get someone to do it for you.
