Sounds like your handset was purchased from Carphone Warehouse (CPW), @Tom Burn?  

If it’s eSIM capable, getting a replacement eSIM from iD Mobile might be a quick option, otherwise pick-up a replacement SIM from any Currys store.

It could be a faulty or inactive SIM card, @Tom Burn - does it work in a different handset?

Anyway, forum members can’t look at customers accounts. Perhaps try contacting the iD support team using the iD online Live Chat service - an iD adviser should be able to assist.

The iD advisors work between 9am - 8pm on weekdays - the iD chatbot works 24/7.
