Welcome to the EE Community,
If you call freephone 0800 956 3146 from any other phone a tech advisor will be able to get your new sim up and running for you.
Thanks,
David.

It would appear that isn't the case, Skype wants to charge me to allow calls, the free trial just brings up a screen with £5 / £10 / £25 pound options.........another great answer

Is this a brand new sim? If so they do usually take a few hours to activate, mine took about 4 hours last time.
