S20 4G not receiving text messages after migrating number from S9 (its been 36 hours)

Hi. I received a brand new S20 4G On Sunday 3rd. On Monday, I set it up and called O2 to migrate my number from my old Galaxy S9. Whilst doing this I had to recite a code sent by text message on my new phone so I know it did(before migration) receive texts. 

 

I was advised that the process could take up to 24 hours before it was all done. By Tuesday morning everything looked to be ok. I could make and receive calls and send text messages. 

 

However I cannot receive them. 

 

I waited the 24 hours from migration time (chap on the phone said it was 21:40 on Mon 4th that it kicked off)

 

I have checked the message centre number (which has to be ok or I wouldnt be able to send them, which I can)

 

I have taken my sim out and given it a wipe more times than I care to count

 

I have restarted my device so often  I am worried that I will wear it out.

 

Nothing works. I just cannot receive texts. This is coming at a very bad time for me as I use Microsoft Teams to work remotely and it periodically sends a text message verification for security and I cannot receive it. Therefore cannot use the app.

 

Please, can anyone help?

Current O2 issue with texts.
Try later.
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.
