If you are trying to port your number from a different network to sky then that can't be done at weekends and would start on Monday/Tuesday. If that's what's holding you up then your old sim will still work until the port is completed.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 05 Jul 2025 17:58:25 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Mobile/Sim/m-p/5029372#M254208 63johnw 2025-07-05T17:58:25Z
