Vodafone PAYG Sim Not Working In Xperia Z3 nor XZ

I have been everywhere to find out why my payg Vodafone sim won't work in my Xperia z3 nor in my Xperia zx. It works well in Samsung and Nokia. Should I have had a system update for both?

How many times have you used the PUK code?

Are the SIM cards activated? Or do they need to be activated on first connect?

good to hear. Try and find a sim card adapter if the cards aren't the exact size

Btw, the PUK code also works like a device security PIN... If you get it wrong too many times you need to call the carrier to issue a new one if you lock it out

Is the SIM a current SIM?

This may seem like a daft question, but are the Xperias carrier locked or unlocked?
