@Sparkle167  Keep rebooting your phone (turn it off and back on) Do this a few times.

That should do the trick.

Oh @Sparkle167 I'm going to tag one of our account advisors to see if they can help.  @O2Lisa are you able to help @Sparkle167 please?

@Cleoriff @Thank you. I called customer service and sadly I have to wait till 18.09pm tonight which is 24 hours since the sim swap. The old one can’t be reinstated so unfortunately I have no call or messaging access till then.  thanks for your help , I’ll keep restarting on the off chance it happens a bit earlier

@Sparkle167  You shouldn't have to wait that long at all! @O2Lisa should be on soon.

@Hcun94I'm afraid @O2Lisa is off now for the weekend. I'll ask @O2Emma if she can help.
