Porting Vodafone to Three

logistic · 03-01-2007 2:14pm #1

Recently got a 6280 on three and im currently on vodafone. Applied through the carphone warehouse on Friday 29th for my number to be ported over. Was told there’s a delay of a day or two but I didn’t think it would be this long. Rang carphone warehouse to see if they know what’s causing the delay. They mentioned its a vodafone issue and they have a backlog of numbers to be ported.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Does anyone know if I can get it speeded up or do I have to wait inline?

Friend of mine had the same problem and apparently the delay was caused by Vodafone (not sure if yours is the same cause mind..)

He phoned the customer service line and it was done in a couple of hours so probably worth giving them a call...

vodafone likes to run porting off every now and then to stop people leaving their network

Porting should only take about 2 hours. If it takes longer than 24 hours, there is definitely a problem.

There are major issues with Vodafone porting at the moment. Basically, everything from just before Christmas to today is going extremely slow with turnout times averaging around 7 days at the moment. Poor show from Vodafone, especially at this time of year. There's no issues with any of the other firms. It's all Vodafone.

Cheers for the replies.

Rang 3 today, they couldn’t do anything for me. Didn’t even have any info for my 3 mobile number on there systems. Rang Vodafone, they checked with there porting departing to see if a request had gone through. They also had no info on the porting request. Was advised to contact the shop i bought the phone from as Vodafone will only take porting requests from dealers of the phone. Rang the shop i bought the phone from. Turned out the person who was suppost to put the request through never took the full information need to reg my 3 phone. Request has now gone through properly, have to wait 24 hours for the outcome.

^^ I have a feeling with the way vodafone are acting at the moment you will be waiting more than 24hrs
