SIM not provisioned porting issues

I joined O2 on 4th Sep on a sim only contract. I gave my PAC code and was due to switch over yesterday. My EE sim switched off at 4pm so I put my O2 card in then spent the rest of the day switching on and off expecting my old number to switch over. Fast forward to this morning still nothing , when I rang anyone , it was coming from the O2 number.

I called O2 who said they would investigate. They got back to me a few hours later and said the "port had stuck" and they would push it through and it would take 2 to 24hrs...

About 2pm today , the O2 number switched off and I spent the rest of the day switching the phone on and off like a strobe light...

Nothing ... No signal, no data , no connection and I get the error SIM not provisioned every now and again. I've removed the SIM , reinserted.... NADA... I appreciate that it's not been 24hrs but given what's happened until now , I'm not confident it's going to fix itself...

 

Both numbers are now switched off

 

Going to have to call them tomorrow morning but open to any suggestions as to how I can maybe kickstart getting my phone working again... Using a Samsung note 10 plus.... 2 days now without my phone , which, when I need it for work is an absolute pain....

Phone finally started working today around 4pm. I received an update from the Twitter media team that the disconnection of the account took longer than expected. It was disconnected and then reconnected this afternoon. A DM from them at 430pm advised of the update and after reinserting the SIM, all services resumed. Thanks to the O2 twitter team for their help.

Slightly disappointed that despite giving O2 an alternative number to contact me on to provide an update and requesting a manager call me , no one did.

If I hadn't posted on Twitter I wouldnt have received any update today.

Anyway, all done now , thanks to all that posted in the thread , appreciate it

Yeah, they never call back @CJ2020 

Glad you're all sorted now though thumbsup
