On the order it asked for my PAC code, i entered it and when i received the EE sim i waited 24hrs+ and im still on the EE number.

I have restarted the device mutiple times to recheck.

Is there a way i can request a number transfer on the website? i can't find it if it is.

Ok I took out my Vodafone SIM from my phones second SIM slot and called myself using a friend's phone and it appears my number has switched over today.

I've got a second number I need to confirm

(My wife's switched from Vodafone to EE also) 

But it appears everything is working. I was being impatient or it took longer than normal but either way it's working.

 

Thanks for the responses.

Cheers.

I found the form to do the number swap but it's not accepting my PAC code...

Hi @K7L3 

Welcome to our community.

I'm sorry you are having trouble transferring your number.

Have you made a call or sent a text from the EE SIM yet? 

Number transfers only go through on working days, when did you actually receive the SIM?

Thanks

Leanne 🙂

The 24hour timeline often cited is misleading.

Port-ins are usually set for the following working day after activation of your SIM, or submission of PAC 

Have you made a call or sent a text from the EE SIM yet? 

Yes, I've sent an SMS but can't seem to send an RCS message.

when did you actually receive the SIM?

I put the sim in my phone on Thursday 08.

Hi @K7L3 welcome to EE and the Community

Looking at the screenshot- are is that PAC form from your previous network page/App? 

Can you try submitting your PAC code on out online form at How do I transfer my number to EE?

Hello, yes I have already tried that and the form was not accepting my PAC from Vodafone as a valid one.

I have tried to do that again this morning and now it is telling me my EE number is not correct, I have copies it directly from my phone's about info.

I have typed it out manually as well, it's not a typo issue.
