Nope it all carried across fine. No settings were incorrect it just took several network resets from EE’s side to sort it. Just ended up with 4 days no data service and a trip to a store to sort out.

They really must hurry up with this SNR rollout. I am in St Ives EE and well
I’m lucky to have a signal! The WiFi only works in the main building too as they didn’t run power to the cabinet that holds the switches, dunno why! So while the access point is powered (it’s a Cityfibre connection 
) I have no WiFi
It’s nice to see it out in the wild though, an In wall AP

Pro-tip: You still Get Volt benefits, even if you leave o2, they can’t even do that right. At least I did before I dumped VM in June, left o2 in November last year. what a Saga that was
I left VM first (they don’t serve my new address), moved to EE Broadband. They haven’t told me that my Volt benefits would stop then (and haven’t sent me an equipment return kit either…).
Once you’re an EE Broadband customer their SIMs are fantastic value, so no point in keeping O2.
I don’t think I’ll ever return to O2. Not because I had issues with them in England, but because they’re completely unusable in most of Wales.

That’s interesting, but honestly I think any network has issues in Wales, I am on EE and at points, my phone went into SOS via Satellite when I was in south Wales visiting someone
When I came to view properties I had to join a cafe’s WiFi network and top up my dormant Lyca SIM because O2 showed 4G full bars and I couldn’t load an email. It’s not like South Wales is so busy that network congestion should be an issue.
Speed test shows 4Mbps at home vs ~170 on EE. On O2 I had to rely on offline maps when driving whereas with EE I am connected most of the time.

So do O2 just shut down your online account the second your number switches? Odd. Presumably final bill will come via email / in the post?
Yes they do. Which is annoying. I got an email to login and view my bill which I can’t but got a text saying the amount the DD will be.

My O2 account is still open and I’ve switched and switched number. I can log in and pay the final bill.

Odd, I’ve been kicked out and won’t let me log into the app nor the website. Have you got any other products with them?

Have switched from my 40gb £5.25 smarty deal to Lebara 15gb £1 deal for the next 7 months. I don’t use much data.
Wife was in London last week and mentioned she hardly got a signal anywhere with Smarty which was a pain.

Going to switch to Sky Mobile. O2 works well in my area and I like that you rollover your data for a long time so any data I don’t use won’t be wasted. £10 for 25GB isn’t bad, especially as the data rolls over. Currently with Voxi which I like but I would rather keep my unused data. Plus, I think I can get Santander Edge cashback with Sky Mobile. Love getting a few pence back each month 
I found Three to be terrible in most places I live/work/go to. The Smarty prices are great, but no point if the coverage is rubbish.

Lebara seem to be doing some decent deals, like an MSE offer of 35GB for £1.90 for 6 months, then £8.90. Going to do the PAC shuffle and move my existing SIM over to and will see what is around in 6 months time.
I picked up the £1 deal which is handy, shame they don’t do esim.
