Number ported a week ago, still no SIM. No Service for days. Should I go back to old provider?

Hi,

 

Sun 9 May: I ordered Plusnet mobile.

Wed 12 May: My old number was ported and I lost service from my old provider.

Sat 15 May: Still waiting for a SIM to arrive.

 

I have no landline phone so I cannot call customer services.

 

I've had a number of postal deliveries since, so I know it's not sitting in my local Postal Depot.

Please can you help? I'm starting to regret changing providers now, even for the marginally cheaper deal.

+Your mobile number

Looks like there was an issue with the address on record. A new SIM is being sent out to me. Impressed with efforts to resolve this.

Cheers for the post back @holfling 

No problem at all, fingers crossed this sim turns up! Let me know if there are any issues though.

New SIM arrived. Had to borrow a phone to call to get it activated (as it was effectively a replacement) but now all working well.

Thanks for help sorting this.
