Does sky sell phones that can accommodate dual Sims if so what are my choices and price please

Does sky sell phones that can accommodate dual Sims if so what are my choices and price please. Also if someone else previously paid for my contract can I have my own new one keep the number I have? I'm getting divorced.

Most phones accommodate dual SIMs -  usually by way of one physical and one eSIM.  All the phones on the site will list their spec.

 

In terms of moving your number you cannot transfer numbers between Sky SIMs.  The workaround would be for the account holder to authorise a PAC code and then for the number to be transferred outside the network and then back in again to a new SIM under a new account.

Note that handsets models which can accommodate two physical SIM cards are much less common in the UK than other parts of the world, because it complicates manufacturing (so increasing cost) and the brand owners don't see a market requirement.

Your reply was very in formative. But my ex husband got my phone number under his 02 contact and now wants me to get my own contract just to be akward but I would like to keep my number and go with sky is that possible with his consent.

Yes, he can request a pac code and you can give that to Sky to transfer the number.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to reply to me it's given me peace of mind and away forward with getting my own phone and maintaining my current status on all my apps that are connected to my current phone number. If he says it not possible I now know that he's just being difficult thanks again for the reassurance. Kind regards.
