Number porting

Anonymous
Not applicable

A quick (I hope!) question about porting my number from Three to O2 - the port is supposed to go ahead tomorrow and the text from O2 told me to keep my phone turned off until 6PM.  I'm still using my Three SIM so I don't have to worry about call forwarding or giving anyone a new number so can I leave my phone turned on until the Three SIM goes to no service and then swap to the O2 SIM or do I really to turn off the phone all day?  I'm on a SIM only contract so no new phone.

 

Thanks in advance and apologies if this has been answered elsewhere - I did try to search but couldn't find the answer.

As soon as your Three sim goes no service just put your O2 sim in the phone.
It will usually take between 2 and 4 hours for the o2 sim to become active - rebooting phone every now and then helps.
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.

Hey don't you apologise. 😄

I added the link because I'm guilty - probably more than others - for waffling replies. 😉

Just a quick post to confirm that the port went through smoothly yesterday.
