Porting Number Problem

    Hi there,

    I got a new bill pay phone as part of my current bundle (Fibre, landline, Mobile) and requested to move my current Eir SIM only number to the new bill plan.

    This was done on Aug 31st but both the Sim only (SIM with the number I wish to keep), plus sim with the new bill package are active. I have called into customer care and into the meteor shop and today the rep mentioned that the number has been moved, yet the original sim (with the number to be moved) is active and the temp sim and temp number active. So it seems to mean that I am being billed for 2 numbers currently. I'd really appreciate if you can please help?
    Many thanks
    Joe

    Hi Eir,

    Also sent my direct Message but 3 weeks on this is STILL not resolved. I contacted customer care yesterday who assured me that a supervisor would deal with it immediately and port the number. Now the number I wanted to port has been completely cancelled. I cannot believe the complete mess that has been made and now after dealing with 6 different people the situation is even worse.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor yesterday and was told they dont take calls, so I am at a total loss as to how to proceed  - except the only thing I can do is sumit written complaints to comreg and eir and hope someone somwhere with a bit of common sense reads it and manages to resolve the situation that I have explained 6 different times - now, it isnt complicated!!!!

    Really annoyed customer here.

    Hi there samo

    So sorry to hear about all this.

    If you were promised a callback to confirm when this is sorted and you didn't receive on, I would suggest calling them directly to confirm this with them while on the call.  A supervisor don't have to call you back but an agent can request for a supervisor to take over the call (if one's available). 

    Completely understand how frustrating this must be so if you feel like you want to log a formal complaint, just click here

    Sinsere apologies for any inconvenience caused

    -Kyle

    Hi Kyle 

    As per the link provided, I submitted a complaint on Friday 29th via the Eir website and no response as of yet, though to give the benefit of the doubt, the automated response states 2 working days. Can you tell me in the case of lodging a complaint is the response usually via email or else will we be contacted by a complaint handler for a call and I expect if this doesnt happen today, then next recourse is to contact Comreg?

    I have gone past the point of patience now to ring for an 11th time and spend between 30-40 mins constantly being put on hold to try resolve these problems.

    thankyou

    Hi Samo,

    You should receive a receipt of your complaint within 2 working days, however, it can take longer to receive a resolution to this. You will receive a response to your complaint through the same method that you've l9ogged it, for example, if you log a complaint by letter, you will receive a response by letter.
