Unable to make or receive calls after porting old number


I have just moved across to Mobile I.D and have received all the information that suggests everything should be up and running.
The issue is I am unable to make or receive calls on my ported number even though I received message to say it’s all gone through correctly.
How long should this normally take?

Hi @gmercer1 

 

We’d recommend allowing through to 10pm on the date of switching for everything to fully complete, are you still having issues?

 

Are you on an iPhone or Android?

 

How are texts and data?

I’m having this same issue, I received an email this morning to say it was all completed but I’m still not able to receive calls or texts but I am able to call and text out. I moved from iPhone to android and disabled iMessage and FaceTime before I moved to new phone

Just hold tight until end of day sometime you get lucky everything work mid morning on your connect date, other by end of the day or even the follow day.

Hi, no change. I've had a replacement sim card now and still not able to receive calls or texts. Updated all my settings with the number that was ported. Been through troubleshooting numerous times with the live agents too. The port was completed on 11/02 at 6pm according to ID

Have you now tried restarting the phone and resetting network settings?

 

If still having issues, we can send a PM to investigate further if you’d prefer?

Ive been doing that periodically since Tuesday evening and it's still not working. Technical team is currently investigating but I don't have much hope unfortunately.

Hey there ​@jackreynolds95, we’re sorry to hear that.

 

If our technical team are investigating this further, we hope they can resolve this ASAP for you.

 

Thanks,

Well the issue is still persisting and there have been no updates from your technical team. Over 3 weeks with only partial service, this is by far the worst phone company ive ever been with.
