My number was supposed to be ported lat Friday(10th January).

Since then I haven’t had any service from ID - no data, texts, phone.

if I try to phone my number it says it’s an invalid number.

I have raised this through Live Chat, however I still don’t have any service.. 

can someone help please.

Hi ​@Cophee ,

 

Thank you for getting in touch. I completely understand how frustrating this must be. You can try the following troubleshooting steps:
 

Restart your phone – this can help the device recognise network changes.

Check your SIM – remove and reinsert the SIM to ensure it’s seated correctly.

Network settings reset – on your phone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Ensure Airplane Mode is off – toggle it on and off to refresh the connection.

If the above does not work, then you may need a replacement SIM card

Hi - when I first put the SIM in the phone, I had service for a few hours before my number was ported. I don’t think it’s a faulty SIM.

could this be escalated to a technical team as I’ve tried thee trouble shooting steps you’ve listed above.

thanks

Your number port has failed. A SIM replacement or device configuration change will not resolve this.

Can someone from ID please check what is happening with my account.

My porting issue is supposed be with ‘the technical’.. I haven’t heard anything from at all and it’s almost 48hours since since this was raised with them.

I still no service - calls, text, data - everything is still down and it’s now 5 days since ID attempted to port my number.
