For the past three days every time I sign up to Sky Mobile, whether online or on the phone, I receive confirmation of my order and then immediately receive an email from Sky cancelling my order. It's not my credit card or carrier I want to port my number from. This is a glitch on Sky's end. Anyone else experience this? If it helps I'm ordering eSIM. Thanks.

Still likely to be failing the credit check I think.
For a sim deal it’s just a soft credit check, for a device there’s also an enhanced check. Any emails which confirm or cancel the order sometimes arrive out of sequence. See this link for Skys guidance ~

Be aware that if you keep trying to order the device this could further impact your credit score. If you contact Sky they would be able to confirm that’s the reason your order was cancelled but not why you failed the credit check in the first place as they are not allowed to view your credit record. You would have to sign up to a credit reference agency like Experian or Equifax, which would give you access to your credit record.
Any upfront payment you’ve made should be refunded after about 14 days but recent posts suggest it’s taking a bit longer in which case you’ll need to contact Sky to chase it up.
