Hi, I'm out of contract and thinking of tying into a new sim only plan. Does anyone know if I would lose my current data piggy bank please? TIA

Hi @Justme13 as long as the account remains active and any new sims are added to that account then the piggybank remains available.

As long as you don't cancel your Sky mibile account then your piggybank data is safe. If you take out a new sim then you would be paying for this new one as well as the one you already have.

A new dataplan will have a new phone number.

You cannot use a PAC to transfer within a network.

If you want to keep the number then you can either call Sky and see if they'll apply an offer to your current plan or there's a protracted workaround requiring a transfer out of the network and back in again.

Thanks for your help. No way I want to be paying for two sims. Ah well, no such thing as a good deal for an existing customer ha ha.

Don't ask, don't get... Worth a call.
