O2 Sim Activation

Slackworth · 8 Oct 2006 at 23:33

Hi,

Just started a new contract with O2 with a K800i Brown. Got the phone at 12ish today but O2 still haven't activated the SIM. The person in the shop said it should be almost instant which with Orange I've always found this to be the case.

Are O2 just slow?

have you turned the phone off and on?

from experience they've always been pretty quick... could just be a busy day, if it's not enabled by 12 tomorrow then i'd ring them up. I'd be tempted not to bother any earlier, as they will probably just say "it can take up to 24 hours" although i'm sure they would check to see if it was going through properly.

can't imagine there's a problem with anything else though, as if there was a problem with payment there's no way they'd let you walk out the store with a new phone!

Multiple times.

Okies. Payment went through fine and according to CPW, I can have another 2 contract phones on my current credit report.
