How long to transfer number ?

[essexstardust]

I filled out a form to keep my number yesterday morning, but haven’t had any confirmation of this going through and so far my number hasn’t moved. How long does it take usually ? Thankyou

@essexstardust It can take up to 48 hours. If you want to chase it up, call 202 from your mobile or 0800 032 1402 from any phone or numbers here: Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 
When it comes to the reason you are calling, stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else

Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.
Say 'Upgrade', 'Lost/Stolen', or 'Fraud' if the suggestion above doesn't get you through.
