I’m having issues setting up my new SIM card
Hello, I can't activate my new SKy Mobile SIM card. It keeps saying that "This page is restricted" and that I cannot view the page as I am not the account holder even though it is the login that I used to purchase the SIM card.

I was with sky and staying with sky but my old sim has all my old details on it such as how much data I used to have as I've increased my data allowance - I'm so confused

My old carrier is O2, they won't let me take calls which has become such an issue, as I'm with sky for my broadband I decided to get a sim here and now I'm getting issues. I can't win 😭

Re: I’m having issues setting up my new SIM card
OK - so dad has lost his mobile phone. I have got him an old one. He has received from sky (his phone provider) a replacement sim card to insert in this phone.
The issue is dad has memory problems ands is somewhat computer illiterate, so I have tried to activate the sim for him on-line ( we don`t live in the same part of the UK), I cannot get past the pages asking for account / credit card billing details to verify his identity. Dad himself is unable to verify what these are.
On speaking to sky they say that we I should be able to activiate the sim through the chat function on the my sky app - but this is just an automated servicve with no live person at th end of it.
Hence any advice anyone on how I can activate the sim on my dad`s phone from afar?
