My iPhone is not fully setting up?

I purchased an iPhone 5s today and the number has not fully set up yet
i.e. I can't call or text or receive calls or texts
its been a few hours since i've turned the phone on and inserted the sim

If it helps i have a 4GEE Orange contract

is it normal for the phone to have not fully set up yet? Should i wait a few more hours?
what should i do if its not normal?
what do i do if it doesn't set up

I have a feeling it will take a while for the sim card to activate, I did a sim swap a while ago because iPhone's have different sim slots. It took a few hours to activate with the new sim. I'm guessing this is kinda the same, you have a new phone and sim so it's taking a while to activate, also I guess lots of people are getting this new phone and contract to EE will be quite busy processing all these new contacts. Just leave it a few hours or maybe until tomorrow. Then if it's still not working give your provider and ring and tell them what's up, they should be able to resolve the issue if there's one.

Hope this helps.

  • My new iphone died, altough it was fully charged I have only been using my iphone 4s for 4 days, and yesterday it died. The battery was fully charged and i was using it only minutes before it died. When I checked my phone minutes later I could not turn it on and the iphone felt very hot. I tried charging it today and after a while it started charging again, but now at 5%. What could have happened? Should I send it back?

  • IPHONE USERS! What happens if i don't fully charge my new iphone before its first use? I really care about my battery and many people say that i should fully charge it before its first use and i'm really worried if not fully charging it before its first use has affected the battery.
  • IPhone not fully charging and home button not working? My iPhone 4 only charges to 10% and stops. After it turns off it charges back to 10% and stops so it doesn't even get passed that. How do I fix this? Also home button doesn't work I have to turn my phone off to get out of an app
