Problems porting to O2 from Vodafone

Has anyone had problems porting O2 to Vodafone?

 

I bought a new iPhone with O2 on 4th May and requested my PAC from Vodafone to port my old number across on 7th May (to avoid the bank holiday weekend madness). On 9th May the port seemed to have completed as I could make calls on O2. However I soon found out I could not receive calls or texts and I called O2 customer service to try to resolve the issue.

 

At time of writing (08:30 on 21st May), after countless calls and countless promises it would be resolved the next day from a number of gurus I still have the same issue. They continously fail to contact me as promised to follow up.

 

I was told O2 have not received the RSP files from Vodafone and they were going to review with them on Friday 17th May and my service would be working that day, but it hasn't.

 

I chased O2 AGAIN on Monday 20th May and was told that the review would be today (21st May) and they would call me on my landline to confirm. I have also spoken to Vodafone who said they would transfer the files immediatley and call me back on my landline to confirm, but nothing!

 

Given the egregious service I've had so far from O2, I'm not holding my breath.

 

I moved from Vodafone because of the terrible service I've had from them also!

 

Does anyone have any advice for moving this on quickly? I need my phone working.

Thanks for the pointer @Anonymous. I have been in touch with Emilie and she has been involved to get me some attention. Unfortunately my issue is still unresolved and I don't hold out much hope that it will be resolved today despite promises from O2. disappointed

Well no call back from O2.

 

i called in again and went through the same process trying to explain my problem to another service rep. He could do nothing except read the case notes which say that it should be fixed tomorrow and someone will call me.

 

It really is like Groundhog Day. I don’t see an end to this.

 

i have tried asking to speak to someone more senior in the hope that a manager will take some ownership and expedite a solution, but I’m told they cannot put me through to a manager.

 

i won’t be recommending O2 to anybody at this rate.

Over the past couple of weeks I know the mobile porting service has been having issues specifically over the weekend, this is not specific to O2 as all carrier's use it to port a number, try contacting Vodafone for and update specifically ask them to contact their porting support team to see if they can assist further.
Kindest Regards,

@VeeGee I have just chased the gurus you talked to yesterday now and asked them to check the progress of your port and update you. 

 

@Cleoriff @Foddersin Thanks both for the support and mention slight_smile

Thanks for the input @Foddersin.  I contacted Vodafone and they said they would get their porting team to transfer the RSP files to O2 and call me back to confirm, but I've heard nothing. It took me 20 minutes to get through to them and the reason I left Vodafone was because of the poor service I experienced over the last 2 years.
