Yes, your SIM has arrived and you're ready and eager to get started.

Once your SIM is active, move your exsisting number or receive a new one from us. If your not ready to move your number immediately then opt to take a temporary number and you can move your exsisting number at a later time. 

 

Activating and moving your number is swift and to the point so for ease we've split the actions into two articles just to make it more transparent for first time customer who may not be familar with the steps.

Enter 893531 and include the first 12 digits of your SIM number (exclude the last digit & both alphabetical letters) now select activate and your in action. Example - 893531112233344555

                                                                                                                                                                                    

 Problems with activating a SIM. 

If your activation request has failed, it's first worth clearing your browser history and restarting your browser then try the activation process again. Alternatively try a completely different browser or device.  


"Sorry, that isn't a valid activation code” 

If you're recived an error message and have double/triple checked you're entering the right code/SIM number get in touch with our Care Crew here . Have your SIM number available to share so we can get you back in action.
