Solved: Re: Sim swap

Anonymous · ‎27-12-2014

I have had my phone stollen was given a new sim from O2 I've barred my phone and old sim and online it's asking for a pin that's sent to my phone. Which I don't have ? I was told the pin would be 0000 if not and it hasn't worked .

Use the landline numbers or try live chat to activate your new sim.
The PIN is a unique code which you cannot receive as you do not have your old sim anymore.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

If you have trouble getting through to customer services as the call waiting time can be lengthy ,then if you have a local O2 high street go there with I.D.

Only CS can lift your account bar - It can't be done in store I'm afraid.

Weird, they helped me when my phone was pick pocketed.

Of course they did, how foolish of me.
