This comes up on all of the networks forums, especially when porting in numbers.

Found this some time back with a number of suggestions

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Resetting your network settings usually sorts it out.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I had the exact same issue , o2 told me it was the phone and to get in touch with Apple !! I put another sim (Vodafone) in the handset and it worked fine ?? I then swapped back to the o2 sim and it’s now working fine ,, might be worth a try if u have access to another sim ?
