I have just moved from EE to Vodafone and ported my number across today. I have had an email to confirm that the port has been successfully completed. I can make calls and send texts to any network but I can't receive calls from anyone on the EE network after switching from EE. My phone never rings anyone calling from this network, the call goes straight to my old ee voicemail.
ive rebooted the phone, taken out the sim and put it back in again as advised after calling customer service but no help.
Can anyone help me please?
Solved! Go to best answer.

Ideally the port does complete on the date given by Vodafone but going on experience I have seen that it can indeed mostly complete on the date given, but then very occasionally can take a day or two to settle for some which is why I mentioned that to wait as a personal troubleshooting tip.
What we see is that most porting in issues do resolve but those that don't need the intervention of the specific porting in teams as this is beyond the capabilities of the frontline agents a person speaks to via 191 or Live Chat.
If you search for 'Split Port' on the forum you'll see all the posts from people that have been affected by this and the advice given to them via members and the Social Media Teams.
I hope this resolves asap for you.

Sort the port had just completed it may take a day to fully settle @j0nezjm012019uk
If it is a split port then ask Vodafone customer service on 191 to escalate this to the porting in teams to be looked at.
Or wait until the Vodafone Social Media Teams here catch up with your thread.
It might be faster asking an agent on 191 to do this..
I wish you all the best with this situation.

Thanks for your reply.
I find it abit strange why i have received an email to say that the port was successfully completed but have to wait 24hours for it to fully settle. This isnt mentioned anywhere on the support pages.
I have contacted 191 again and still going round in circles. The agents tried their best over the phone but still unable to resolve the issue. They even put me through to the wrong options which I kept going round in circles.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
I have checked my phone this morning and it appears to be all working as it should. Outgoing and Incoming calls & text are all working from non vodafone networks successfully.
Thanks again

I signed up to a new Vodafone contract a couple weeks ago now, and requested as many do that my number be ported from my existing network three over to Vodafone.
Can somebody help?
