SIM card not activating

I've recently received a replacement SIM card. I'd entered this into my phone yesterday and it has still failed to activate or connect to any network. The phone wasn't locked to a network and I wasn't asked to enter a PIN on putting the new SIM into the phone.

I've tried rebooting the phone multiple times and have tried the same SIM in multiple other phones.

I'm at a loss as to why this SIM is not working.

Hi Roxy102,

Thank you for your post. 

We can certainly look to help with activating that SIM card. 

What I will need to do is private message you so we can confirm details and pass data protection.
