Solved: how long does porting in take

captainprice · ‎01-12-2016

Trying to find out how long it takes to port a number from Tesco payg to o2 payg as I have had no service on my o2 sim card since 12pm today

@captainprice It can take up to 24 hours but can be quicker sometimes. Has service stopped on your Tesco sim? If you've put in the O2 sim, try turning the phone on and off every couple of hours or so.

Average time about 4 hours but rebooting phone is vital.

It would be unusual but it could still be porting.
If it's not on by the morning it would be wise to assume a faulty sim though.
