I have moved my phone from 2D to Orcon using Orcon's 'bring your number' function. There is naturally a delay for this to happen, so I am still using the 2D SIM to ensure calls get through.

The question I have is how do I know the port is effective to my Orcon SIM?

Your 2d sim will stop working when port is complete.

Yep simple as dead 2D SIM as your number is no longer active on that network
