Issue with new mobile account

I've just started a new mobile account with Plusnet and transferred my mobile number from my old provider.

 

I had an email on Wednesday (1st June) saying everything had been set-up, and the port will be complete by midnight.

 

Currently, I've still not got 4G access and am unable to make calls / receive texts.

 

I've been through all the basic troubleshooting as suggested on this site and haven't got anywhere yet.

 

Any suggestions?

Re: Issue with new mobile account

Hi Steve,

I'm really sorry to see your mobile doesn't work after porting your number to us. 

It looks like you've rang us yesterday and an adviser's raised this off for further investigation for you.

We'll update you as soon as we know more, but feel free to post back if you need any further help.

Re: Issue with new mobile account

Thanks @Gandalf for the reply.

 

I managed to get through to someone on the phone, but I was a little disappointed with the fact they seemed to have no idea about porting issues, especially with the volume of recent issues of ports on these forums!

 

I'm self-employed and rely on both my phone and data plan for work, so having it out for almost a week now is incredibly disruptive - If there's any way to hurry it along it would be much appreciated!

Hi @andyb1968,

I'm really sorry for the delay with your port. We absolutely haven't ignored you, we're just a little busy at the moment. We do though track every delayed port internally and we work with the relevant people to complete them as soon as possible. If you can PM me your full name and mobile number, I'll be happy to take a closer look for you.

Re: Issue with new mobile account

Hi Steve,

Our porting team's raised a request to refresh the profile on our suppliers side. 

I don't know how long this will take but will keep an eye for further updates and let you know.

Re: Issue with new mobile account

Hi @StevePN 

It looks like my colleague in our porting team has spoken to you just now and you're able to receive calls now, but can't make them still, so we've escalated this with our suppliers. As soon as we know more, we'll be sure to let you know.

@Gandalf @LaurenB 

 

Now on day 16 of no service.

 

Told Tuesday on the phone it would be fixed in the next few hours, and I should expect a call the next day (Wednesday) to confirm it's all working.

 

No call or fix...
