You can't use a pac code to move a number between two Sky sims so you have a few options:

You could either use the sim you have or if you want to transfer the number you have to the new sim then you would need to use a Pac code to transfer your current sim number to a PAYG network and then use another pac code you get from them to transfer it back to your new Sky sim.

A pac is used to move a mobile number between two different networks so make sure you select the activate sim option and nothing else.
