    Jamesha_3618645​ If you received this as a Replacement SIM, then as ZenovA​ says, you need to follow a specific procedure. You should have received instructions on how to activate it.

    If you still have problems, you will need to web chat with Smarty Support: http://www.smarty.co.uk/contact

    Jamesha_3618645​ Is this SIM ordered from the 'Replace my SIM' menu? If so, I think you need to activate it on your account's dashboard, rather than from the smarty.co.uk/activate page, which I believe is for new users that got a SIM from a friend or bought from a store.
