trying to port number over to three

went to a three shop with my daughter to port over her number from tesco mobile at first all went well got the code to her phone for porting fine the lady said theres ur new sim thanks got credit while we were put on it wen we got home new sim went into the phone wen it came on went to make a call to her mum she had a new number not her own but the thing was strange it was an 086 number in the end she kept the new number rather than going through all the rig a roll again that was six days ago i thought all the 086 numbers used to be owned by the old 02 company

Old sim should be left in phone until port is complete, ie until sim goes dead. Then put in new sim.

Shouldn't take that long, if done correctly, putting in new sim before port finished might cause issues

I don't know why a new Three number would be 086 - maybe try this https://www.three.ie/keep-your-number/

I think three have access to old 086 numbers. I got a new 3 SIM recently and it's an 086 number.
