can enable new phone

I have pac, new mobile number and transfer code, when I attempt to transfer I get the message 'something went wrong' and it fails to work. I tried setting up the new Galaxy. Two problems - it won't transfer anything from old to new phone (WiFi or cable, neither works), when I try to set up the new phone and enter my new mobile number, the verification code doesn't arrive. I'm starting to suspect my SIM isn't registered with the number ID sent.

Bottom line, I'm stuck and frustrated. This needs sorting out today or I'm getting in the car to Carephone Warehouse/Currys to get my money back

I have got exactly the same problem. Entered all the numbers required numerous times and just get a message ‘Something has gone wrong’. Very frustrating and unable to access the live chat as well.

I don't think the SIM they sent is associated with the number they gave me either. Putting aside any transfers etc, just setting up new phone and SIM doesn't work, just says no service. Tried the SIM in slot 1 and 2, nothing. This is an appalling arrive, I'm going to get a refund. I phoned the sales line I used when my application failed, they couldn't have been less interested. Warning to all - this is a rubbish service.
