new O2 payg sim not receiving calls....

I've just given my bf his xmas pressie early, a new phone with a brand new O2 sim card in it, I've not put any credit on it yet tho.
I cant get through if I call but he's getting the texts I've sent, does anyone know why that is?

TIA

  • It won't be fully active until it is topped up.
  • that is true. you need to be in credit to activate the 02 sim. they promise a £1 free credit when you register the sim card online, but you must have purchased a credit before you recieve it.

    top it up as advised, and also be aware it can take up to 24 hours after top up before it does start working.
