My Data SIM only order is still in open status- even though a SIM was delivered to me

Hi,

 

I've placed an order on the 19th Dec which was Sunday for an Unlimited Data SIM (£33/mnth).

The SIM was delivered Tuesday morning, and ever since then I've been trying to get it working.

I've managed to talk to someone using the live chat multiple times and each time they escalated

the request to their dedicated team. Unfortunately my SIM is still in a non-working state, with no one

telling me what the actual problem is. I know I passed the credit check because it shows up on my

credit report, but my bank account was not charged yet. According to the agents, this has nothing to

do with my service not working, but I suspect that these things are usually paid for in advance. So what

can I do in a situation like this? The order tracker shows that my order is in the "Order confirmed" status,

even though I have the SIM already? (Is this what they were reffering to as "an open order"?)

No direct debit was set up on my account either?

 

Please help me, I need this thing working before Christmas and because it's Thursday now I'm actually

panicking. Please do not direct me to twitter & facebook as I am not using any of those services.

Thank you for your help.

Is there no service at all on your handset using the new sim card sounds like the SIM has not been activated.

If you can text or make a calls you may need to update the APN details on your handset to access the data side of things here

It does seem odd that your order status still states "order confirmed" and you have already received your SIM, unless the sim was delivered so quick the order status has not updated quick enough?

You are probably referring to the hard credit check showing as a search on your credit file which isn't necessarily an indication you have passed the credit check, that's just a search.  But the fact a SIM has been posted to you  certainly doesn't sound like your credit check has been declined.

If you don't use Facebook or Twitter & live chat couldn't help,  I believe the only avenue left for you is to call customer services on 0333 304 0191

Sorry I'm pretty new here at the Community Forum but I'm sure someone more experienced will pop by soon to help direct you to getting this sorted out

No the Social Media Team's do not have a phone number @TheRedFox 

They are not customer facing.

Usually Twitter DM gets a message to them and they'll catch up with a response.
