Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years but I find it's better to go to a telecom boutique and get the tech-savvy young bloke to install the card, call the magic number (often in Arabic) to set it up and crucially, tell you what your PIN and phone number is.

SIM card should be free. As Chris said go to a shop and get them to set it up, they may charge a little bit for this. (I paid 50dH for 10 activated SIM cards a few years ago).
Once activated you can use the networks app to add credit using your debit/credit card.

Paul - I’m catching the ferry at Portsmouth tomorrow, on my way to Tanger Med, arriving there on 2nd.
Is your V5 between Norfolk and Portsmouth? I’m happy to pick it up just in case

barcelona/ tanger med fron gnv
I crossed from barcelona to tanger med on the 26th with GNV.
The ferry was suppose to leave at 12h.
The office to make the check-in opens at 9h! So no need to come 4h before as written on your e-ticket. You could even be there just two hours before like a lot did.
There is a boarding parking just before the offices, if you're with a car or truck you have to park before go make the check-in, with a bike you can register first and park after.
You need to have a printed covid pass or pcr test.
The ferry left at 1pm.
There are maroccan customs officers in the Grand Salon on deck 6, where you have to pass for your passport and vehicule there is a little form to fill.
You don't need to queue for one hour to do that when the ferry leave, likeI did, the guys will be in the boat all the trip, just wait for the good time.
As I didnt booked a cabin, I slepped in the Grand Salon with sleeping bag, a lot of People did, absolutly no problem with leaving sleeping gear and clothes when you go for lunch or take a walk, friendly atmosphere.
The ferry arrived at the port at 5:45pm local time, I get out at 6:15.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
