Phone 123, ask them to send it to you 
Secondly, try making a "chargeable" call, phone a friend and let him pick up the phone and talk for about 5 seconds. You need to make a chargeable call before you can send sms's and "use' the simcard basically

I got my new phone 2 days ago, still waiting for the settings. I made a plan and entered the stuff myself. And I've had my VM SIM for a while now, so I just do it myself. For anyone wanting to know, here are the custom settings:
Proxy: 196.116.31.241
Port: 8080
Access Point: vdata
Data bearer: Packet Data
Account Name: WAP-GPRS
User name: leave blank
Password: leave blank
Authentication type: Normal
Homepage: http://www.virginmobile.co.za
MMS settings are basically the same, except:
Account Name: vmms
Proxy: 196.116.31.242
Server address: mail.cmobile.co.za (I think, haven't tested yet)
Good luck
