Hi @Cam212 the only way is to set up your account, get your new sim and activate it, then get a PAC from sky and transfer your number to another network on PAYG then port it back to your new sim. You can't port from sky to sky.

So do I get a PAYG under another network?

Do I order a new sim with the phone with a new data plan?

Yes that is correct, when the sim arrives make sure you activate it.

Get a pac code for the sim that is on your parents account.

Give the pac code to a PAYG network (so you will need to get a sim with them).

Once the number is on their network get a Pac code

Give the pac code to Sky on your account

Sky will move the number from the PAYG network to the Sky sim that is on your account.
