All you need to do is to put the sim from your old phone into the new phone, you don't need to activate the one that came with your new phone.

I am in the same situation. Xferring daughters phone from wife's sky account to mine. Went through the PAC route and it says cannot transfer from one sky account to another. So at a loss.

@DRL

That is correct. You can't directly transfer a sim from one Sky account to another Sky account. I don't believe any provider allows a similar transfer.

All you can do is move the relevant sim to another networks PAYG then move it again to the Sky account you want it on.

Get a cheap SIM-only monthly deal with another network, via one of the comparison websites - around £2 is about right. Wait for the SIM to arrive in the post, and then port out the number you want to keep from your old Sky SIM to that other network for a day (using a PAC), and then port back in to Sky to the new Sky SIM card using another PAC (this time the PAC is provided by the other network). So leave and rejoin Sky in 48 hours. Just make sure you are out of contract on the SIM-only deal that you are terminating to avoid early termination charges...

I would imagine the OP is sorted by now. You've added to a 13 month old post.
