Please help! "You've dialled an incorrect number" new phone, number transferred

I bought a new phone and EE contract last Friday and applied to have my old number from Tesco mobile transferred. I was told the transfer would take place today, Wednesday.

Up until around 2pm today all was well, I could use my new phone even though my number had not transferred yet. My old sim from Tesco has been showing no service since this morning, so I thought the number transfer would happen soon.

Since around 2pm even though I have service on the new phone with EE sim when I try to call any number at all, even 150, it says "incorrect number dialled". I can't make any calls at all to anyone and not even to EE to get help for this. I log into the app and it says "there seems to be a problem, please try later", and live messaging with EE is not available to me.

I have of course restarted my phone a hundred times.

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

Sorry @fernyywerny, I'd confused your reply with another community member in this thread.

When did you give you PAC code to EE?

James

Last Saturday I gave them the PAC code in store.

I would have expected your number transfer to have completed by now @fernyywerny 

Please get in touch with Customer Care so a member of the team can check the progress of your number transfer.

My number has transferred I’m pretty sure because it says my old number in my settings with the new EE sim in. The issue is I can’t make any calls because it says the number is incorrect and I can’t make any texts. But yeah it has been way too long so I will call them up and try and get it fixed.
