Porting Question.

I have just ported my old number from Virgin to 3 , the changeover happened
this morning. However, my Virgin sim still seems to be active. If I make a
call to my home phone using this sim, it shows up on the caller display with
my number which has ported. All incoming calls are going to the 3 phone as
expected. Is there a period where the 2 sims will work at the same time? I
assumed the Virgin sim would die as soon as the switch to 3 was complete?

Thanks

Looks like Virgin hadn't disconnected their sim, just had a text on my new
phone saying they had transferred the number now. The Virgin sim is now
inactive.

The porting process does seem to take a while to settle down on the day.

Good Luck with 3. Let us know how you get on.
