Received my new iPhone 4s and micro sim today. But I can't get any signal and it just displays no service permanently, please help. I'm so dissapointed
Thanks

You need to activate your micro sim card. You have to transfer your number from your Standard SIM-Card to the Micro-SIM Card.

Go to > Your Vodafone Account > My Settings > Activate New SIM

Type the long number of your micro sim card and get it activated. It should take 15-30 Minutes (max. 24Hours).

Thank you so much! Saved me a trip of going to a vodafone shop. I got signal with in a few minutes of doing that. Vodafone hadn't made it clear anywhere that I had to do that.

Is there any way of checking that I have activated the micro sim correctly?  I lost signal from my previous sim about 6hrs ago, but my 4S micro sim hasn't activated yet.  Very disappointed and annoyed after 'upgrading' that it's not working!

Transferring a number from one sim to another can take up to 24 hours to complete so I'm afraid you will just have to wait. This is why I would always advise people to go into a Vodafone shop to do this rather than activate online. A shop activated sim always seems to work quicker than one activated remotely. But that is just my experience - not exactly proof positive.
