Old number has not transferred over

So i have decided to move over to iD with a new contract but I wanted to keep my old Vodafone number.

When purchasing the new contract I was told the porting will take place 23.4.24.

At around mid-day of the 23rd both my old vodafone sim and new iD sim have stopped working, it is now the afternoon of the 24th and my new sim is still not working.

Is this normal? I have never had this process take so long.

Hi @Murat Simsek, @andewhite is correct here. This sounds like a faulty SIM, you may need a replacement.

If you’d like us to set this up, just let us know here and we’d be happy to send you a PM.

Okay @Murat Simsek, has the ‘new’ iD SIM card worked at any point since you received it?

If your old provider’s SIM card has stopped working, it’s likely your switch happened - your iD account should show the number you wanted to keep, if switch was successful.

Hi @andewhite 

 

I only put the iD sim into my phone once the old vodafone stopped working so actually not sure if it ever worked.

 

I’ve tried logging into my iD account off the app but it wants me to enter a passcode which i cant receive because i have no cellular reception

Sounds like your iD SIM card is faulty, or hasn’t been activated, @Murat Simsek

You might need a replacement SIM card.

I been waiting 2 days. Was told would be done by 7th, then by 6pm today and both times failed. If it’s not sorted by Monday phone is going back and will cancel contract. First time i’ve ever had issues porting number.

Hi @123red73 @Martin Degg,

Welcome to the Community!

Just checking if you have any update on your port?

If your port still hasn’t processed we can PM you to get it sorted.

Hey there @Kevmozzer, welcome to Community!

 

All ports complete between 8am-10pm on the selected date. If past 10pm it hasn’t completed fully, we’d recommend restarting the phone.

 

Please let us know if you’re still awaiting on the port to complete.

 

Thank you,

Tyler
