My new phone is not active yet – I can’t make / receive calls?

When we dispatch your phone, we also arrange for the network to connect your phone. The network works on this whilst your phone is travelling to you, and should be connected within 24 hours after delivery. We do this to make sure that your line rental starts on the day you receive the phone and not before.

What can I check?

Make sure that the phone is fully charged. Most manufacturers recommend 12 hours to ensure that the phone gives you maximum call and standby times. Make sure that the battery is fitted correctly – take it off and replace it.

Is the SIM card inserted?

Is the SIM card in the right way? It should only fit one way. Call your new mobile number from a landline. If you hear a ‘dead tone’ the handset has not yet been connected. Switch your phone off and then back on again. Your phone may need to reset before the connection is completed. Are you in an area where there is coverage? Step outside and try it there just in case the building is stopping the signal getting through – some metal framed buildings can cause problems.
