Porting Issue (Split Port)

Another Split Port issue here and was hoping for some guidance please.

 

  • Signed up with O2 on 11 April and gave my Three PAC information at point of order to port my present number.
  • Received SIM on 14 April but told port wouldn't happen until the following Tuesday (18 April) as O2 hadn't processed the port request so to keep using Three SIM in phone
  • On 18 April received a message from Three to advise disconnection of my line - assume port complete so switched SIMS. Nothing working
  • Having been speaking to O2 customer services every day since it has become apparent there is split port. I can make calls and get data but cannot receive calls or texts and can only receive calls from O2 numbers. Every time I speak to customer services now I am told the same thing "The request has been escalated directly to the back office team and should get a response in 4 hours but maybe 24 hours". This has been every day from 21-26 April and literally having the exact same conversation every day.

This is really frustrating as I am effectively uncontactable via my phone (kids school etc have tried to contact me and won't use Whatsapp) and don't feel like there is any level of escalation rather than sending an email to a faceless department internally that I cannot speak directly to.

 

Does anyone have any advice or knowledge with this please?

@Brian_Fly 

I'll ask @O2Ryan to see what's going on for you.

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

I have the same issue. I am now over 3 weeks waiting for o2 to port my sons number over to the new o2 contract. Tomorrow the PAC code will expire and yet again today I have been told to wait 5 days! It's ridiculous. I'm beyond frustrated...please someone help.

Regretfully our O2 Advisors were removed in July so it's just us customers who can only advise keeping at O2

You can officially complain

https://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain

Resolver part way down is said to be good

 

 

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
