Hi I have upgraded my own phone to an iphone 5 and I have upgraded my work's phone to a 4 both needed sim swaps. I called customer services as they are now working on my sure signal they said to remove them and add them back which I have done and its made no diffrence

Hi Gb00290,

 

When you upgraded your phone you would have swapped your old SIM card for a new nanoSIM. This is where your problem comes from. The SureSignal users the unique serial number of your SIM to determine wether your phones allowed to connect or not. As this has changed it now thinks you phone is no londer allowed access. There are a few ways to fix this, they dont all work for everybody.

 

  • Wait - as frustrating as it can be waiting a day or so will usually solve this. It takes a short time for the change of SIM card to filter through the Vodafone systems and make it's way to your SureSignal.
  • Re-Add your phone number - Some users have reported removing and adding the number to the Sure Signal fixes this. The problem you woulf have here is if the number is the main account, this canot be removed without de-registering the Sure Signal

More info on the iPhone 5 specifically can be found in this thread
