Sim swap

Hi, if I get a new sim (Black Friday deal) can I cancel my current sim and keep my number? Thanks

Hi @MJP5 not easily. You would have to port your old number to a different network on PAYG then port it back onto the new sim.

If you cancel your current sim then the number is lost so you wouldn't be able to keep it.

To move it to a new Sky sim you would need to transfer it out to a PAYG network then back again to the new Sky sim.
