Hi. Just upgraded my phone and during the install process my SIM card (and therefore phone number) has stopped working. I tried using the O2 app to order a replacement, but it needs to send a code via text to verify it's me. My number isn't working so I can't receive texts! Went to the O2 store and the best they could do was offer me their phone to wait on the helpline.......for 30 minutes. Not going to wait in the shop, using their phone for that. I have no landline, so can't use that option. Virtual assistance just keeps suggesting I use the website - which wants to do the same as the app. I'm stuck in a vicious cycle. I've contacted O2 via the Facebook Help facility, but obviously, that could take a while. Can anybody please help?!

Did you put the new sim in the phone?? Did you follow the sim swap guide that the sim came in or here Guide: Sim Swap: a mini guide 2017 update
Why did you not just go into store and ask to do a sim swap, as long as you have photo ID then they could have done it there and then
Also you can use your old sim card in the new phone, you dont need to use the new sim, unless you have an old 4G sim and want to use 5G if it is in your area..
Unfortunately you will need to call o2 and either borrow a phone or use Skype Guide: A Guide to Skype and call 0800 081 0255
I do not work for o2 or any VMo2 /Telefonica/Liberty Global Company
