Sim activation needed again on unlocked phone?

[SethRT]

Hi,
I have obtained an iPhone 4s from my mother after she unlocked it (she was on 02) and I inserted my sim. I received a text saying I would have to wait until my texts could be sent?
Should this happen? Surely my sim would have already been activated through previous use?
Thanks

I have waited over 24 hours since I put the sim in. iMessage works but texts do not.

Hi SethRT,  

Have you updated the phone to get the Vodafone settings?

If not, just sync it with iTunes.

If this doesn’t help, try a hard reset of the phone.

To do this:

• Press and hold the ‘Home’ button
• At the same time, press and hold the sleep button
• When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons
• The phone will then restart

Thanks,

Andy
