Why has my O2 iPhone 4 sim not activated yet?

I traded in my blackberry for an iPhone 4 two days ago, and obviously they had to do the 'sim swap'. They told me it would take 1-24 hours to activate but it's been over two days now. I can't do it manually on the O2 website because I don't have my old phone anymore.

Go back to the shop and ask them

It should be active within 24 hours. I take it you have turned the phone on/off again to check it hasn't become live? (If the phone and new SIM are on whilst they are trying to activate it, it can take longer).

If it hasn't come live then give O2 a call from your landline or go back to the O2 Store for help.

  • Why is my iPhone not getting activated? I updated the iOS on my iPhone 3GS from 4.1 to 6.1 or something like that. Now when the phone started i reached start-up up to the Wi-Fi network selection screen. After that it a screen appeared telling me to wait while the iPhone is being activated.iTunes is also not showing anything. Then suddenly the iTunes screen says it can't be updated, please try again later. I have tried several times but it's not working.

  • Why factory unlocked iphone 4s is showing that the iphone is not activated? I bought factory unlocked iphone 4s on ebay for my sister-in-law who is in europe. And the seller assured that it is factory unlocked and will work perfectly. I have non activated sprint sim card and when i inserted it in to the iphone it showed that "the iphone is not activated.contact the carrier". What does it mean? Does it mean that the phone is not factory unlocked?
