Porting number to Vodacom

I app**** yesterday afternoon to have my phone number ported to Vodacom. I was told not to insert my new sim into my new phone until I no longer had service on my old service provider. Eventually when my service was disconnected from the previous provider, I inserted my sim into my phone and tried to connect on the Vodacom network. <br> <br> It has now been more than 24 hours and still I can't make / receive any phone calls. Through out the day I have phoned the customer care center and the branch where I went to have my number ported but have been sent from port to starboard without a precise answer or reason for the delay. Not once was I given the same explanation for the delay. I am starting to have major regrets about porting to the Vodacom network. Being without a phone for this long is unacceptable to me.
