New Sim, data pack with unlimited minutes and texts but cannot call without balance

Fledgling

Just got a Sim for my visit to the UK.  Never had an issue before.  This time, got sim, bought data pack, with unlimited text and minutes.  But despite the app showing I have unlimited text and minutes, cannot place a call without the recording saying my balance is too low.

How do I get this updated?
