Re: Keep old number
If you want to keep your number and use the new dataplan there is only one way:
1. Transfer the old number OUT of the network
2. Transfer it back IN to the new dataplan
You cannot use PAC within a network

Re: Keep old number
You need to get a pac code from Sky and give it to someone like Vodafone on a Pay as you go sim then when you are up and running with them a het a pac code from them to move it back to Sky and your new sim.

Can't make it any simpler really.
Get a PAC code for your current number, get a temporary SIM from another provider, transfer the number to that.
Then get a PAC code from that provider and give it to Sky for the new dataplan.
