Number porting

[Anonymous]

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.

Indeed. Tracey only needs to look at the latest live chat transcript posted here tonight...a real joy to behold and will let her know exactly what she has been missing
