At least EE are attempting to resolve the issue, as indeed they should but the offer of help from @Toby would seem to be the only really helpful response from O2.
UPDATE.....
You know that guy - you know, the one they call @Toby - he's 
A couple of PMs to him this morning and he's managed to resolve ALL my issues 
iMessages/Facetime has now successfully activated. Incoming calls/texts are now working. Sending a message to the EE shortcode 150 now initiates a response (these were the 3 issues which haven't worked since the porting completed on Friday 13th Jan'17 - a bad date to put in a porting request no doubt!!! 
)
Tested everything with the wife - and all working as it should.
EE, to be fair to them, did indeed do everythung they could for me - the issues was on O2's side, so was out of their hands. They tried to contact O2's Porting team on THREE separate occasions -with NO response from O2 (WHY?????! 
)
Anyway - all sorted now, and so another end to another LENGTHY SAGA.........................!!
Hey @DinoF my friend, I'm so happy for you.....well not you to be honest, your better half though it will make your life much less stressful 
Seriously, well done to @Toby for his help but it comes to someth2when a community manager has to do the job that customer service seemed unable to do. Kudos @Toby!
