Hi I switched providers to O2, provided my PAC and put my new sim in when it arrived. The switch did not happen for a couple of days and I did not have access to my phone number. I spoke to customer services who said the porting was scheduled for today. My PAC expires today so I stressed that I needed confirmation that the switch would happen. They said it would. They said I would know it had happened when I lost signal; I should then switch off my phone and switch it back on again. 

 

I lost signal this morning and have now switched my phone off several times, including for a period of over an hour but still have no signal. Because I have no signal I cannot call to find out what is happening. There is no chat function I can locate. I now have no signal, no access to my phone number and am concerned that if this is not rectified today I will lose access to my number because the PAC expires. I do not know how I can contact O2 to resolve this issue.

Keep rebooting.

It can take up to 24 hours in extreme circumstances.

From my own personal experience porting is a process and can take time.

Yes i know it can be frustrating but may be best to just bare with.
