Restoring O2 Service on OnePlus
Turn Airplane Mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn it off. This forces your OnePlus to drop and re-register on the O2 network from scratch.
Power off your OnePlus. Remove the SIM tray, take the SIM out, check the gold contacts for dirt or damage, then reinsert firmly. Power on and wait 2 minutes.
A full restart clears radio firmware errors that can cause No Service. Hold power and tap Restart. Allow 2 minutes for O2 network registration to complete.
Visit O2's coverage checker or network status page to confirm there is no outage at your location. During outages, No Service affects whole areas simultaneously.
Go to Settings → Mobile Network → Network Operators → Search manually. Select O2 from the list. This forces re-registration when auto-search fails.
An unpaid bill, spending cap, or suspended account shows as No Service on your OnePlus. Call 202 (free from O2) from another phone or check the O2 app to confirm account status.
As a final step before requesting a SIM replacement, go to Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth. After reset, wait 5 minutes for O2 to re-register your device on the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my OnePlus say No Service on O2?
No Service means your OnePlus cannot register on any O2 network cell. Common causes are an improperly seated SIM, a failed SIM card, an account suspension, or being outside O2 coverage. Toggle Airplane Mode and reseat the SIM as first steps.
How do I check O2 network coverage?
Visit O2's website and use the coverage checker — enter your postcode to see whether O2 4G or 5G coverage exists at your location. If O2 shows no coverage in your area, No Service is expected.
Can a software update cause No Service on O2?
Yes — some firmware updates reset network preferences, remove APN profiles, or change preferred network mode settings. After any update, go to your network settings and verify O2 is selected as the preferred network with the correct APN.
