Hi, I commenced a sim swap on Tuesday but my existing sim hasn't lost signal yet. I originally put the delay down to the current corona situation but it's Friday now and it's still now swapped.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I would put the request through again or call CS
Everything is taking longer due to the lockdown. Call centres and social distancing means limited staff to handle all the queries. Patience needed I'm afraid.

Thanks for the advice. I have submited the form again and, after clicking on your link, I see that sim swaps are taking any time from days to weeks so will have to be patient.

Not sure if it makes a difference (and it's only anecdotal and perhaps luck of the draw) but I used SMS text to do the SIM swaps (send 'SWAP' to 20220 then follow instructions) start of this week for two swaps (mine + wife's) and it took under a minute for each to get deactivated and lose signal and be ready to pop in the replacement SIM.
(I hadn't read the link posted above aout SIM swaps & COVID-19, and since O2 sent me new 5G SIMs on renewing our SIM only plans I just went ahead and did it.)

Hi Evans,
How did you eventually get it sorted? I'm having same delay problem at present. Upgrading from payg to sim-only deal, but want to keep my old number. Received new sim and a new separate account has been set up for this. Started the Sim swap process by text 2 days ago and old sim still working, so not sure what to do. I'll probably go on live-chat about it tomorrow, but wondered if you might have a quicker solution?
