Buying a laptop without Data plan

[ChrisB71]

Hi - Want to buy a Macbook Air but don't need the data plan - is this possible?

What you could do is to pick the cheapest plan and when the sim arrives do not activate it then it will be cancelled so you will not be charged for it.

I'm wanting to buy a MacBook monthly and wanting no data plan, if it arrived and I didn't activate the sim and that got cancelled would it also cancel me paying off for the laptop or just the data plan?

The data plan @Amy83

Thank you! Also if it's 25% off data plans so it equals out as £0 would it just be £0 for the first month or would it start to charge me after I've payed off the MacBook because surely they wouldn't give me 100mb for free each month? @caesarome

You have 30 days to activate the sim or it is cancelled. The 25% applies for the length of the sim contract which is usually 12 months.

And then after the 12 months could you cancel the contract with them completely and just pay off for the MacBook? And if so how would you go along with cancelling it @caesarome

To cancel the sim you would need to call Sky and the free number to do this one once the 12 months are up is just 150.
