I ported my 020 number from Skinny to 2Degrees last Wednesday and by Thursday morning everything was working fine except i couldn't receive text messages from any network other than 2D. I called 2D and was advised Skinny hadn't disconnected me and they would sort it. Funnily enough Skinny hadn't disconnected me either (i checked) and that old Skinny sim was still working with the same number attached. I could text / call from both phones and they had the same number assigned. A few more calls later and Skinny disconnected the sim, shortly after a call from 2D advised it's been completed and the port is "closed".

I'm not going to go into every call but i have called 2D several times and been called back a couple but no one seems to know the issue or how to fix it, they have hinted it maybe because it's a 020 number.

I almost get the impression from 2D that because it's an 020 number it could take weeks to create a "fix".

Hoped someone here might know a little bit more about this.
