Other way around - the iPhone SENDS a text to a UK activation server in order to activate (due to the stupid way that Apple do things) and without cash credit to pay the 8c for this SMS it will never send and the iPhone will never tell you (again because of the stupid way that Apple do things).

I am not a 48 employee - if you need to contact 48 support you can do so by chat, email (support@48months.zendesk.com) or phone.
