(hes 12 and was bankrupting me on payg)

number ported today, working for calls but his daily 100 or so texts are not
coming through yet. Normal to have a delay ?

Mmmm. Sounds like you made a mistake there...

The idea of PAYG for kids is that _they_ pay the top-ups!

There's often a delay. Number porting behind the scenes stuff doesn't
seem to happen on weekends either, annoyingly! If its not working by
Monday then def give T-Mobile a call.

I'm appalled that you don't know if your son is 11 or 12 years old.

LOL. Hes 11....12 on Sat :-)

On a serious note, its working now. I had a bit of cat and mouse with T
Mobile. One op told me three working days, one told me oops I will need to
escalate this and one said I will do a refresh for you.
It started working within a couple of hours of the refresh (whatever that
is).

I now wish I hadnt bothered as my life has a backgtound scorre of text
