Bought a Macbook on Sky Mobile contract but selected physical SIM

[Avi2]

I ordered a Macbook Air with Sky Mobile on a contract basis and selected "physical SIM" however, I've realised Macbook Airs don't have a "SIM card port" - how do I sort this? will Sky send me an eSim instead?

Hi @Avi2  no they won't. If you don't activate the sim when it arrives you won't be charged for it. If you want to use the sim you could buy a dongle to use. Skys esim are not compatible with mac books.

Oh that's great thanks, so I'll just be charged for the device fee and not the data for the sim etc?

Yes @Avi2  just the device, you won't be charged for the sim and it will drop off your account after a month.

Apple has never released a MacBook with cellular capabilities.

It was rumoured (yet again) at the end of last year.
