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?

Hi. I spent A lot of time in the store a week or so ago. About two hours. They were not able to help..... Although they did let me have a new sim which the proved was active.
I have, in fact found a solution which has now worked. I have used my unlock code which they provided initially on an EE free sim.
I had to gently clean the inside of the sim slot, then I taped a very thin slip of paper to the back of the carrier. This I inserted into the aperture, making a more snug fit to make contact with the connectors. Not sure why it wouldn't work in my new phone though. Maybe this is a small design fault?
Very many thanks for your encouragement and patience over the past few weeks, as without it I probably wouldn't have found out so much about the workings of the phone.
Many thanks.

Hi yes, all seems to be working now. Many thanks.
