Upgraded phone >24hr still not active

[journeyman4]

Ive been trying to upgrade via phone on Monday, Tuesday, 13/14th March 2023, Ive tried different operators, even been quoted different prices, but at close of play Tuesday 14th March 2023 still nothing so it will go into Wednesday. As some said preciously its easier to leave the network.

I came here after 16 years with O2, wish Id not bothered will get pac  codes for the two phones. had enough now.

You're absolutely correct to identify some the issues with IP-based landlines in poor coverage areas. And yes, poor coverage is indeed a frustration up & down the country.

Every network will have areas of poor indoor coverage, it's unavoidable. But all the best with your chosen new provider.
