porting my number

[unhappybunnie]

I am trying to decide if O2 is incompetent or incontinent as it seem they are pretty ******ty at what they I do, I gave them a PAC code on Friday of last week and still my number has not been ported across.
I have phoned several times and been given different answers ranging from “it will be done within 1hour to 24-48 hours” its been 134 hour and its still not done.
They told me at the start that when the change happens that I would loose service from EE and when that happens to switch my phone Off and on and my number would be ported across that did not happen.
Call Customer service twice on the third time I ask to speak to a manager who said they would escalate it and would phone me the following morning guess what NO Phone call.
Called again and told it could take a further 24 hour. I have lost the ability to text from my phone and things are going downhill. Wishing I never changed to O2 am going to wait 24 hours then I will cancel the contract.

@unhappybunnie ports don't happen at weekends and take 2 days (usually) so the best you could have hoped for was for the port to happen on Tuesday anyway.

Regardless of that, something seems to have gone wrong so you will need to get customer services to escalate it. This happened to me a while back and it took 4 or 5 days eventually.

I'll tag @EmilieT too as she may be able to assist.
