@Lisa791 

Have you activated the sim by topping up?

Tried and was successful @Lisa791 ?

Do you have allowances showing in your MyO2 https://mymobile.o2.co.uk/ ?

@Lisa791 

If it's showing credit rather than allowances the bundle isn't activated yet.

Try rebooting the phone and check again tomorrow.

It should show that you have unlimited calls and texts and 20gb of data, not a monetary value.
