Hi. I've received a replacement htc desire handset today (with the 28 day replacement policy) and my details were moved from one sim to the other. Asof yet i have not received messages off orange to activate the phone/sim. Any idea how long this should take as it's been 3 hours now! :thinking:
I really can't cope with more problems as this is my third handset in a week
 
There's no need to pretend after all the dilemma, all of it has sent me down the numpty path!

p.s ATM i cant do anything including call 150. It comes up on the screen as limited service (therefore no ability to call, text use internet, only wi-fi)
Is this normal without receiving the texts and having the sim details fully transferred from the one (that was working fine at 2p.m) to this one i put in a couple of hours later

Is your old sim still active, i have always used the original one till it turns off & then i switch to the new one.
Only thing i do right away is copy all the sim phone numbers to the phone ready to switch.
