Orcon's been good for many years, but their price+data offering is not cost-effective anymore.

 

I am trying to port my existing mobile number to Kogan.

 

After some hours this morning, Kogan's portal says the transfer request has failed.

 

I never received any confirmation txt on my Orcon SIM.

 

Additionally, I can't log into https://mobile.orcon.net.nz/ on my desktop - request times out. Making phone calls from the Orcon SIM still works.

 

(edit: I am able to log into https://www.orcon.net.nz/myorcon/ okay)

 

2degrees status page says there are self-service issues as of yesterday.

 

Could this be related? Kogan does not say why the transfer has failed.

Hi Chris, can you reach out with a DM and provide your mobile number or account code and I'll have a look for you?  FYI, I'm heading away from 2pm so I'm on limited time until tomorrow :)  Ideally I can get your details and get something moving for you.

 


Regards

chrisvp, thanks for your DM and looking into this.

 

I tried porting twice today, both times failed.

 

Chatted with Kogan live support just now. Kogan representative could not initiate the port successfully either.

 

Kogan has raised a ticket now within their tech team. They hope to get back to me within 3 days.
