@Emmahb Ports never happen on weekends. When you lose service on your old sim the process will begin. Keep turning your phone with your new sim off and on every half hour or so.

All numbers for O2 are in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 

Currently 0800 587 4005 is the best one to try.

It may not be straight away today that it goes through. You will know the process has started when the old sim with your number stops working.

Apparently the best number to try calling is 0800 587 4005. Give them a call and they should be able to check the status of your port. Hopefully there are no issues. Good luck.

You need to give it time to complete.

It should happen today but can be any time upto 9.00pm this evening.

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.

Thank you all. I rang up and they’ve re requested the port so think there was a problem anyway. Fingers crossed
