Up to 24 hours for everything to fully port over.
How long since you ported number?
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

SMS is the last thing to be provisioned when porting. Keep switching the phone off and on at hourly intervals.

Depending on when you requested the port it should be done within 24 hrs. If it takes longer.. there could be a problem and that's why you need to  ring customer services to check what's happening...Better ring and speak to someone as opposed to using live chat..

I would try sending the word Active to 2020 and installing the network settings that are sent back to you. Then maybe restart the phone and see if that helps
