Did you activate a new sim as the chances are that number will have been used by someone else in the past as all mobile numbers across all networks are recycled so when a sim is cancelled that number goes back into a pool of them.

I would call Sky on 150 as they might cancel this one to send you another to try and while there is a possibility that number will have also been used by somewhere else you would be really unlucky for it happen against two sims.
