Hi.  Accepted on Sunday.  

Hi @Rebecca_1943419 . Sunday doesn't count as it's not a business day. Therefore, you effectively requested the transfer on Monday and it should be completed by 5pm Tuesday

Submit your PAC on a business day (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM) for your transfer to complete by 5PM the next business day. Outside of that, it might take an extra business day, or longer if it's a Bank Holiday.

 

Hopefully communications from SMARTY, about your number transfer, have informed you it'll be transferred by 5pm today (as @MSF mentioned).

Bear in-mind there could be several hours without a mobile service.
It can take 3-4-hours, or longer, between your 'old' provider's SIM card becoming inactive, and the number you want to keep being active with your SMARTY SIM card.

I'd recommend turning OFF the handset with your SMARTY SIM card, until you receive the email from SMARTY confirming your number transfer has gone through.

I opted for my number transfer yesterday (Wednesday) and was told it would be today (Thursday) but my account is now saying tomorrow (Friday) - no explanation to why the date has changed and it will then be outside of the time I was assured. None of these dates are bank holidays. Not a great start to the network and I'll be cancelling my smarty one if they keep changing the date.

transfer ending date today but still not transfer number 

@Mohamme_2453028 If you were given today as the transfer date, it could be up to 5pm. Keep checking your account dashboard as it will show the transferred in number once the process has been completed.
