True. Does look as if this was disconnected after BT giving the thumbs up, though.

Porting itself is instantaneous. The 10-day malarkey is to do with giving notice to the other operator to make the number available. As you were doing a return to donor, not a number port, there would be nothing showing on the account about an export. I can see how customer services would have grasped the wrong end of the stick, and advised you on what would happen if you wanted to export the number.

I would rep you Pritch, but it gives me a msg to spread my reps around, before giving you a rep again.
No problem, mate. Glad it's in hand
