Why won't my new Iphone 5 sim work?

My employer went bust and my work's phone got cut off, but no-one ever asked for it back. So I figured that I could get a sim only deal on Orange (same network as before) and keep using it. But I've picked up the sim today and it won't work. Any ideas, or have I just wasted my money (albeit only a rolling monthly contract)?

Is the sim activated yet?

Did you connect to itunes and activate service with the new sim card?

you just can't sim swap on iphones like you can on androids, windows, and blackberries… Apple is communistic… You'll learn

  • Will a blackberry sim card work in an iPhone 4 if we cut the sim? My friend has a blackberry and wants to buy an iPhone 4 off someone he knows. I have a micro sim cutter that I used when I went from iPhone 3G to iPhone 4. If we cut down his sim it will fit in the iPhone, but will he still be able to use Internet and call people? Also, would his network provider be able to send him a new iPhone sim but with the same tariff? Cheers
  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • Why won't my tap to tweet work on the new IOS 6? I updated my iPhone and it worked just fine but I don't see the tap to tweet in the notification center, please help!
  • Why won't my brand new iPhone 5C won't connect to my home Wi-Fi? I just recently bought an iPhone 5C for my mom, along with an HTC One. The 4G LTE seems to work fine on both of them, but my iPhone can't seem to connect to my home internet (the HTC connected perfectly fine). I'm 100% sure I'm inputting the correct password, and it always comes up with the same error: "Unable to join the network '[my Wi-Fi name]'" I've tried turning the phone and router off and on, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick…
