Hello. Please help, I ordered a SIM card from you by mail and now I can’t activate it online. When entering a phone number, it says that such a number was not found, what should I do?

Yes, and this is what it writes “Ihre Mobilfunknummer wurde nicht erkannt. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Eingabe und versuchen Sie erneut.”

Should not have expiration date for activation. After activation 6 months without recharge.

@Angel_Ok i run out of option if you type the number in the example format like 0176123XXXXXX. Wait for an o2 moderator.

Hi @akh_nav,

we had some issues in the last few days but everything has been fine again since Friday. You should now be able to activate your SIM card.

Please write to us again here to see if everything worked out.

Kind regards Ines.

Hallo @Kcathy,

How long have you been trying and it's not working? Maybe it will work if you try it later. At which step exactly do you get the error message?

Kind regards, Lea
