Lyca deal through MSE - DON'T port numbers straight away.

Options
My advise is to check everything if works, then transfer your number, otherwise you may be stuck in mess like me and my partner:
Purchased 2x sim deal through MSE on 24.08, received on 25.08 (today is 06.09), emails stated "You've already bought a plan or credit!" which is correct, however, sims are empty, no monthly plan at all, so, if everything works through the "system" then you're okay, but if not, if you need deal through Customer Service due to missing sim deal... it's really hard job, so without porting number is easy to just bin the sim and use your old number on old sim.
They couldn't see this deal, their advise was to buy a monthly plan, they couldn't note/believe that I have done deal through MSE, on the end luckily I found transaction ID which is not order number. Order number which is beginning ORD5xxxx but transaction ID which is MFST00xxxx. After pointing transaction ID they started to believe and my case was opened, so waiting now.

I fully understand that more likely we're in minority, but please be aware that happens...
