I had requested a porting of my number from EE to Virgin. This was meant to be completed yesterday and today I am only able to make outgoing calls and texts and not receive any calls or texts. I have gone through all the various trouble shooting with different virgin associates where now they are going to be sending me a replacement sim. This wil take 3 to 5 days which is incredibly disappointing as I am unable to access any of my apps that require phone verification. Can this be escalated to the technical team to ensure that the porting took place properly? It seems like a lot of people have also reported this issue and the replacement sim doesn't seem to do the job.
Thanks

Branson is not CEO and has no dealings with Virgin media other than licensing the name.

Thanks for the response. It's so frustrating especially trying to even get into contact with someone in the technical team to sort it out. Honestly, if I knew it was going to be like this I would have never have switched to Virgin.

Thanks for your post and or reaching out to the Community Forums, Reshmi06
Sorry to hear that you are having mobile service issues. This can sometimes be due to the SIM card not reading the port correctly, however if this isn't the case then the mobile networking team will need to be contacted to check the incoming/outgoing call routings since your port. Currently this can only be done by calling again as we have limited support from within the forums, apologies.
Thanks,

Mine ported out OK in a similar situation to yours.

Hello @Anonymous.
Welcome to the community page, thank you for posting on here again.
I am sorry to see that you have not had the best experience with us.
I can see that you have now left us to go back to EE, I am sad to see this. I hope you have no issues with EE and everything runs smoothly.
Many thanks,
