iPhone 4S or Micro SIM Problem?

[Tweaker]

I finally received my iPhone 4S yesterday, after 2 weeks, which i ordered through Vodacom's Upgrade centre.

So I went to Cellucity yesterday evening (6pm) and did a SIM swop in order for me to get a mirco SIM and was told it would take up to 4 hours for it to activate.

I waited patiently and only put the micro SIM into my phone at about 10pm last night, it would be searching and then just no service, but by now my previous SIM had been deactivated so I don't have access to calls, smses etc.

I Phoned vodacom earlier and followed their instrustions (remove sim card, restart phone, etc) but still no service, they said i should wait a bit longer and it should work.

It's 2pm and still no service. Anyone else had to wait this long for their micro sim to activate? or do you think there could be a problem with the iPhone itself?

Give it at least 24 hours, then turn the phone off and on. I also had to wait a while for my first Micro SIM Swap

Thanks fxit_man, will have to wait until 6pm to see.

I was lucky. Got my micro sim, went home straight after and when I inserted it I was connected.

Did not have any problems getting my micro SIM to activate. Put it in the 4S and 15 minutes later I was operational.

My business partner waited 2 weeks, yes, 2 weeks before his micro sim was activated. Nashua mobile was largely to blame for the delays.

Strange, it's not like it requires anything special to activate it.

Connect it via USB to a PC with iTunes installed?
