In theory porting your number shouldn't be a big task but I've only done it twice and on both times it has been a disaster, the latest cock up is between Orange and O2.
My number was due to be ported from Orange to O2 on Wednesday but as yet its still not active, My Orange sim card is still switched on as is the O2 simcard, Problem being the O2 card with my new number is active but if you phone it its just a dead tone, I also can not receive messages, It beats me why the Orange sim card is still switched on and getting full reception, but if you go to make a call you can't.
I have been on to O2 who don't seem to know what the problem is and keep telling me to phone Orange, Orange tell me to phone O2, I have phoned constantly since Wednesday and am no further forward. Any advice appreciated
