Hi. I keep getting a message saying 'invalid sim' on my iphone 7. If I switch the phone off and on it clears but then the message reappears some time later. Clearly I can't use the phone when the message is there. I'm wanting to upgrade to a new phone but I want to be sure the sim card will work OK in the new phone before I commit. Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

Pop into your local O2 store with photo ID to get a new sim.
Or you can call 202 from your O2 mobile or 0344 809 0202, 0800 902 0217 or 0800 032 1402
When it comes to the reason you are calling, stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else
Press 5 for More Options
Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.
Say 'Upgrade', 'Lost/Stolen', or 'Fraud' if the suggestion above doesn't get you through.
Best time to call is 8 am.
You can also reach O2 via social media:
Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB), Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW), or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG)

It sound like you need a new sim

Best option is to take photo ID to a O2 store and they will swap it out for you

Or give them a call on 202
