Hi folks,

As you may be aware this years early May Bank holiday takes place on Friday 8th May.
Due to this change members will not be able to select Friday as a transfer date.
If you need to transfer your number in then you can get started right here.

Please note that only valid dates can be selected from the transfer page

We don't do any transfer over the weekend or on Bank Holidays and when you do submit your PAC prior to 5PM then your transfer will take place on the next available day. The handy table above will assist you picking the best dates for you.

If you do need to get a PAC/STAC code from your current provider then we do have this handy guide for you HERE.

Thank you,
Simone and the giffgaff community team

Has the cut-off time for porting in changed? I just visited the transfer page to check that Friday's date was not being offered and was surprised to see it still offering tomorrow's date well past the 17:00 deadline:

Thanks for that figment_uk
I'll get that flagged to see what we can do to sort it out.

Update: Are the dates correct? You mentioned the Friday but the image shows the 7th (Thursday).
Anyway, I've just checked and the 8th isn't selectable and it defaults as the 11th as the next available day.

dez_d but the image shows the 7th (Thursday).

As it was 17:32 according to the timestamp, that's after the 5pm cutoff and therefore too late for Thursday.

That's assuming the cutoff is still 5pm, but nobody has said anything different as far as I'm aware,

Just checked this again at just before 17:30 on Thursday 7th and Monday 11th is still available, so it would appear the cut-off time has been changed by stealth. Quelle surprise 🤨

Maybe somebody write the program during the GMT season and didn't check what would happen during BST?

Thanks for the information, these dates always get confusing around Bank Holidays.
