SIM free iPhone

Hi, is it possible to get an iPhone without a SIM deal as I don't want to change my current provider, I just need a phone, I cant see anywhere in descriptions about sim free, TIA

@Martinlufc1

If it will not let you order a phone without a sim then what you need to do is to pick the cheapest sim deal and when the sim arrives do not activate it then it will be automatically cancelled so you will only be charged for the phone and not the sim.

In my basket its showing the data plan 100mb unlimited txt/calls £0.00

The phone is a iPhone 16e, it's showing £18 at checkout just for phone , sorry it's the first time doing anything like this, I normally just buy a phone out right, £18 seems cheap

I can't see your picture @Martinlufc1 but swap 24 is a 36 month contract but at 24 months you can send that phone back to pay off the final 12 months and get a new contract phone or keep the phone and pay the final twelve months.

It does say under the 24 months box - "This is a 36 month contract". At 24 months if you want you can swap your mobile as the remaining 12 months should be paid off for you by the value Sky "gives" you for the device.

The 100mb sim at £0 is for 12 months so could increase after that.

So if I don't activate the SIM will it cancel itself?

Hi Ive realised this issue for you was a almost a year ago and now I have this problem I just need a phone no sim because I am being provided already so what did you do

@Hussain0

Have you give it a go to see if you can just place the order for the phone and if it does want you to order a sim then just pick the cheapest one and do not activate the sim then it will be cancelled so you are not charged for it.

I didn't activate the SIM card, so if you get a phone just don't activate the sim
