Porting date

Catwise18 — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:39:28 GMT

I have just moved over to EE today and have asked for my old number to come across.
I have been sent a date by text to say it will be done by 07/04 which is a week away! Is this really going to take that long? How will I know when my old number has transferred? Thanks

It will port within 1 working day from when you activate your EE SIM on the EE network.

Thank you.
Why do the text saying 7 days then? Got me very worried!!

Just gives a leeway as they don't know when you will insert your SIM.
