Hi @auldy, welcome to the community! Thank you for posting.
It can take up to 24 hours for a new SIM to activate - when did you put the replacement SIM in the phone?
There may also be some helpful information for the specific handset if you search for it here: virg.in/mobsupport
All the best.

Thank you for getting back to us.
Does it show the network as an option but not allow you to connect to it? Or is there no option of a network to connect to showing?
All the best.

Thank you for passing data protection with myself. There are some other questions will us get to the bottom of this.
Can you confirm the make and model of the handset you're using?
Can you confirm if you got the handset from ourselves?

Thank you for that information.
If you boot the handset up with the SIM card installed does it ask for any codes?
