Emergency sim for child on existing contract

JaneyH1 — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 10:08:22 GMT

i have a sky mobile contract which I am the main contract holder for. I added my husband last year and we both got new devices. I'd now like to get an additional sim for my child to put into my old device just for emergencies (so no data just the ability to rarely text or make a call). Having gone round in circles on the sky mobile site it looks like I'd have to pay a contract for the sim??? I think I should be able to link it together - has anyone managed this?

Thank you in advance!!!!!

You can add a third sim to you account but all must have data on them as there is not and has never been a data free option. If you can see the 100mb sim (a really tiny amount) you could order that one but otherwise your only option is to order the cheapest one.

Sometimes an initial contract of £0/month (for 12 months but will increase slightly after that).

But all SIMs need an individual dataplan...
