Hi there.

 

Has anyone else noticed an issue with porting to Skinny it not coming up in the website dashboard, or if they did, how long it took to show up?

 

The number ported over 2 days ago and have been using it since. However, since then, when I try to access the primary account dashboard by clicking on "Manage This Account" it flicks me over to a sub account's dashboard instead with only the sub account's number in the upper drop down list. I removed the sub account to see what happens, and all I get when I log in is "Activate Account" on the main dashboard. 

 

I click on that, and it momentarily shows me my primary account details dashboard. When I log out and back in, it says activate account again. I've given it 48 hours to see what would happen but still the same thing.

 

I even tried ringing the 456 number if the ported number needs "activated" by phone.

 

I contacted support the other day and they said clear the browser cookies/cache, then download another browser despite telling them I'm trying on 3 different devices and another browser with the same issue. It was suggested to try later on that day but no avail 48 hours later.

 

Of course, I'll talk to someone again tomorrow who doesn't know what's going on, but I wondered if someone's experienced number porting probs like this with them and how long it takes to show up on the dashboard correctly.

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Gavin.

I'm running into exactly this issue and haven't had any luck with support so far. Did you manage to resolve it in the end?

Yeah my son ran into this same issue last week. I thought it might have got confused because he missed the text on his old Spark sim confirming the transfer & the transfer got cancelled. When he attempted to re-request it on the Skinny website, the website seemed to go into some sort of loop asking him to activate his account (already done) and not progressing past this point.

Eventually, after a few days (and failed attempts to convince Skinny support there was an issue), he managed to log in properly and re-request the transfer, which worked okay.

However, now the number is ported, he is back to the screen asking him to activate his account and once that button is clicked, it takes him to a very non-standard looking dashboard (this was as of yesterday, I haven't checked with him today). Fortunately the Skinny Android app seems to be working fine.
