I have just received two free sim cards from Three with which I will be using one to transfer my number from ASDA for my android phone - I popped into the Three store a few days ago and purchased a top up in advance (not sure why I did that as I could have just topped it up with my card but hey ho)
What they guy in the shop said was that the sims would take 30 minutes from switching on, to actually receiving a signal - I put one in a spare 3g handset and switched it on and waited the obligatory 30 minutes - tried network update on nokia handset, but still nothing. So I then tried my old E63 (2nd phone) - tried again with the first sim - this still isn't working again after 30 minutes.
After this I then tried the other sim card I received in the first handset - waited 30 minutes and again nothing - tried the hard reset (pulling battery from phone and network update, but that (this time and the times before) wouldn't let me log onto the 3 network after trying a different Network.
Hope this is making sense
Now, 4 and a half hours later, I have two handsets in front of me, A nokia 5230 and a Nokia E63, both showing no signal and no access to the Three network - Its like the two sims they provided have been supplied blank, with no number attached to them.
Besides a phone call in the morning, is there anything else I could try to get these sims sorted out? I don't want to have to re top up my asda sim as I have the PAC code for my number, but I don't want to have to wait on Three to send out more sim cards.
Please help
and
Many thanks in advance
