keeping my old number

Hi. It's Sunday afternoon. Have just changed to Lebara. I want to keep my existing number but Lebara won't let me use it till Tuesday. Why does it take nearly 2 days to make his change?

Porting doesnt happen on weekends same with all networks.
If done on weekend or after 5pm Friday wont be done till Tuesday.
Its 1 working day and weekend isnt working day so Tuesday I'm afraid

Superuser25 Thanks for that. Can't understand why Lebara doesn't explain that when a new customer signs up.

Hi I did my Friday evening so will my old number come through sometime today? I tried it 20 minutes ago but hadn't come through then

Can take up to 5 or 6pm today
