Normally it would take 24-48 hours excluding weekends @Pandi1975.
Unfortunately the system that handles number moves is under pressure and there are fewer people around to fix any issues, so at this point we don't know how long it will take.

There are very long delays with ports right now, sorry.
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.

Hi,

Unfortunately number ports are taking longer than normal to be completed, you should lose signal on your old sim card when the number port takes place, keep switching your phone off and on to see if the port has completed.
