Number not transferred

Hi, my wife recently purchased a new phone and contract with Virgin Mobile, during the purchasing process I entered my PAC code to transfer my old number from EE onto my new contract.

It however should have transferred on Monday the 10th but still has not the old EE contract has now been shut down on the 10th but the number is not in use on the new phone as you can appreciate keeping the old number is a massive thing and a hell of a lot less messing around giving out the new number this is one of the reasons she joined but may have to cancel if it cannot be done 

Can anyone help? Is there a way to check to see if this is actually still being processed or not?

Then EE would have disconnected as the system would have indicated the transfer had taken place

I suspect the ball is firmly in Virgin's court.

Hi @Turn, sorry to hear you are having the same issue.

We will need to get some more information from you so we can look into this further. I will send you a PM, if you can look out for this in the top right corner of the page. 

All the best.

Mate if it the same answer i got which effectively was tough luck i would have to contact my old provider even though we did everything virgin asked and also EE  this is the message i got almost make me want to cancel the contract all together 

 

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

But you will need to go back to your old provider and request them to reactivate your line, then we can request the port over.

The number got disconnected on the 10th and the port was requested on the 10th, this is why it has not worked.

Many thanks,

Unless you disconnected your EE account yourself that should not have happened. Usually the donor account continues until the point of the transfer taking place.
