You can activate the SIM without waiting.

As soon as you activate the sim you can start using your phone, as the billing date being October the 8th plays no part in it as you do not have to wait until then.

Hi thanks for replying...

I can use my sim on WiFi however do you know how I can pay my bill early so my plan starts so I have data ?

also does anybody know why I can only call and receive calls while I'm on WiFi

Thankyou so much.

Your SIM (cellular) will have data once you activate it, not when you pay.

How do I activate it if you don't mind me asking? I have activated my SIM card using the activation code but once I'm not connected to WiFi my sim doesn't work.

Then you have activated it so you don't need to do it again. So do you have mobile data turned on when you are not at home ?
