Hi.
i just received new Sky mobile and inserted the sky sim. I have activated sim online and also used PAC code to transfer old phone number across to sky.
however message from sky states its ready on 3rd Jan. Thats 6 days time. Does it really take 6 days.....

numbers are not ported over a standard weekend regardless

Usually it would happen on the next working day but I'm not sure if these days after Boxing Day count, so as it appears they don't then next actual working day would be the 2nd January which appears to count as the day the Pac was provided and the 3rd as the day it will transfer.
