Number transfer on a weekend

[Anonymous]

Just wondered if anyone else has encountered this -

Upgraded my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 yesterday afternoon and the girl in the shop said my number would probably transfer over quite quickly but could take up to 12 hours. 20+ hours later and my number still hasn't transferred so I spoke to an advisor on O2 chat and they said that as its a weekend it won't transfer until Monday! As you can imagine, I'm not massively impressed - surely if this was the case the girl in the shop would have told me that?! And if it is the case, it seems a ridiculous thing to do - I'm sure I'm not the only one that wouldn't want to wait nearly 3 days to use my new phone?!

Happened to me in eptember when i transfered my number.I got told it was pretty straight forward,waited a few days phoned up customer services they said they had no knowlegde and told me to got o the store.when i went to the store the guy was a bit ignorant towards me.In the end it took a week to sort out after numerous calls.But if its not transfered by monday call customer services and ask what the delay is.
