Migration gone wrong

I have recently changed from o2 monthly to o2 payg. I ordered the new sim as advised, called o2 and asked them to migrate my old number to my new payg sim. This was over 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't transferred. I now can not access my online o2 account, I have emergency calls only on my phone at all times. Both the new number and my original have been deactivated. I have called countless times and at first was told it will take 1 day then 4 hours then 24hours etc and that it had gone through successfully and I just had to wait. Then it changed to my new sim being the problem. I was then told new sim has been sent on 2 different occasions and both times nothing turns up. I disagree with the new sim being the problem as it worked before the migration and for 30 minutes one day after the migration. I messaged facebook o2 and was told there has been a problem with my account details and once again its being looked into. Ive been told about a dozen times, its been escalated or its being looked into. Well I've had no means of contact now I can not access so many important things as I now do not have a number to receive texts/calls. If the school needs to call me for my child they can't and I am the only point of contact. I am desperate not to lose my number as there are things I will not be able to recover but I can not go without a phone when I live alone with my child and can not even authenticate my work laptop or deal with payments/banking. Please can somebody help me? I'm at my wits end.

@Dave-O2 another one

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Hi @Dave-O2 

 

Not sure if you can help me too. I'm having the exact same issues with changing from a pay monthly to a PAYG SIM.

 

I have called on 3 separate occasions to have my previous number (that I use for a lot of 2FA) to be changed to this new SIM. On 3 occasions it has failed or the operator I have called has not done it properly, with one operator saying it could be a glitch in the system.

 

I have now received an email saying that my previous number will be disconnected and to use my new PAYG number that I don't want to go forward.

@LV01 Just to let you know that Dave is on Leave and won't be around until Tuesday

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
