well ;24/48 hours ; no no .
My old contract was to end 5th March (landline porting )
Bear in mind ,i have had numerous telephone calls to Virgin ;and promised it would transfer by the 5th March ;latest.
Without writing war and peace ;the date became the 10th March .(not a happy bunny)
On the 10th of March ,great ,number ported over in the morning ,but mid afternoon reverted back to the Virgin number.
On the telephone again ;(same day 10th ) was told it was now going to be the 18th March by Virgin.
i explained ,my old BT number was working for a few hours on the Virgin line
My BT line had gone dead and my old provider had informed me Virgin had advised transfer for the 10th
I was under the impression that a number could only be ported if live .
Virgin say it will transfer on the 18th ????
