Switchover not happened

My switchover day was yesterday and was supposed to have happened by 10pm last night but nothing has happened yet. When I signed up I provided a PAC number which my old network (O2) gave me to give to iD mobile so I could keep my old number. O2 disconnected yesterday and since yesterday I've been able to get mobile data with iD mobile but I still can't send or receive calls or text messages. That means I can't register on the iD app because I need to be able to receive text messages in order to receive a code from iD to register. Anybody have any idea when things will sort themselves out?
