Hello
I joined O2 last week 06-April as a 12 month contract sim only deal. Since then I cannot port over my existing phone number to the new sim card and can't talk to customer services due to the COVID-19 call center issues.
I have tried texting SWAP to 20220 four times now. Each time all it says is the following:
1. Enter Security code we will send - i enter it and send it
2. We need the 13 digit serial numbe SSN - i enter it and send it
3. Message arrives "Good news the sim is already active. Turn your phone on and off"??????
No further instructions on how to port over my number???
I then logged in my O2 and clicked on the "keep your mobile number link". I have filled out the form 3 times now.
All i get is the following email again and again even though I copy and paste exactly from my o2 regarding the tariff i'm on and last bill date and the current new number provided.

Sim swaps and porting are taking ages on every network. Normally take 24-48 hrs and now it's a lot longer. https://www.o2.co.uk/help/account-and-billing/switch
Your only hope is to try and get in touch with customer services who open at 10am this morning.
