Setting up Direct Debit for iPad

Dylan04 — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 19:10:27 GMT

Just recently received my new iPad, but I can't add a direct debit to it, I'm guessing I have to wait 28 days. Also, do I have to pay for this month or wait until next month to pay my first bill.

Thanks

You should have provided the payment details when you placed the order otherwise it would not have been snt to you so Sky will take it from this.

This link explains when your first bill will be taken:

So it is 3 days after activation or up to 13 days if paying by direct debit.

But I selected no data plan, does that mean I still need to get an eSIM or not?

No you wouldn't get an esim or physical sim if you selected the no data option so the payment details you provided will be for the iPad only.

If you do want an esim you can still order one from your account.
