New account number porting

[#1]

I've just requested a new sim to open a new mobile account. I am concerned that a port at this time will not be successful due to staff shortages etc. Is porting a manual process, or automatic?  I'd hate to be without a phone at this time, if there is a chance things might go awry, I'd rather stay with my old network (O2)
