@Ch98 

The forum is littered with similar complaints currently.

You need to contact O2. The UK based SM teams are best.

Message them on Social Media. Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (X)  (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG)

Quickest I have seen is about 30mins, but as ports do not happen at weekends (assuming you are moving into O2 from a other network), and given issues with Guide: Migration & porting into O2  generally in recent months, it could be 2 to 3 weeks or longer.

Guide: How to find help & contact O2 has the Social Media team links, try them for a better estimate, @Ch98. Good luck!
