Porting Problem

Today (25/01/22) was my porting day. My Sky sim went dead at approx 11am.. But my number never ported. I called 202 at 8pm, was in a queue for 45 minutes, then a handler answered and hung up. Then surprise surprise, when I called back I was told via recorded message "we close at 9pm and queuing times are 1 hour"

Have I done the wrong thing coming to O2? Am I to expect poor technical and customer service? If so I want out already.. I just want my number. 

I assume as I'm only a couple of days into the 14 day cooling off period, I can port out (with my real number?) not impressed at all.

@Dps510 

There's a known issue with porting currently.

Keep rebooting your phone to help it along.

If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this

Thanks

I'm another one with a similar porting problem, from Three to O2. It is tricky not being able to deal with banking numbers and after many attempts at switching my phone on and off, a phone call to O2 resulted in the assurance that it's an unusual problem which will be passed to the back office. When I asked for the anticipated time for resolution, I was told it should be within 24 hours. Most frustrating and my first ever problem with porting.

Someone like you with an issue with banking codes, found it worked if they turned Wifi off.
