Just pop over to Activate my SIM and we'll get that swiftly switched on for you. Simple.

Note: It can take up to 24 hours for your SIM to activate but it's usually much quicker. To check this, try switching your phone OFF/ON at different times throughout the day.

Remember to setup a SIM PIN

Setting a SIM PIN adds an extra layer of security to your mobile device, helping to keep your personal data safe. It ensures that even if someone gets hold of your SIM, they won’t be able to use it without the correct PIN. It's a simple step to take that can make a big difference in protecting your information.
