If you have the phone on PAYG, you only have to make a chargeable call to active the SIM.

To find the number, its *#100# send.

Rather than going through various options, depending on what exactly it may or may not be doing, your best bet is probably to go into a Vodafone shop and asking them to help.  They'll be able to show you what to do and also sort out any issues if necessary.

Hey smerfetka201,

This is strange...all SIM's on Pay As You Talk come already activated and there's only a need to make a chargeable call to get you going (as per AnnS' advice)

Can you tell me what it is you are trying to do? Have you made a chargeable call yet or is the message displayed on the screen disappeared?

You may wish to return to the store to see if they can help as I've not seen the error message before, nor can I find any reference to it in the user guide.

Cheers,

Hi smerfekta201,

As Lee saied, this is a really strange one.

I'd agree with him here - pop back to the store where you got the phone and they can test it out for you there and swap the SIM or phone if necessary.
