Moving Abroad

[Casey7]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any answers before I call up.

I am moving to Australia in 2 weeks time - for the forseeable. I have 1.5 years left on my phone contract and wondered what my options are. 

Can I continue to pay my mobile phone in Australia and just buy a sim out there (just so I can keep the handset) 

Or do I have to consider paying it off/handing the handset back and getting a new one out there? 

Any advice is welcome, thank you!

Hi @Casey7  as long as you continue to pay your monthly amount you can keep paying it (from a uk bank account). If you have had the plan more than 12 months you can cancel it. All phones from sky are unlocked and can be used with any sim so you can use an Australian one.

thank you so much for that - in terms of cancelling it - do you mean hand the phone back to them or paying the lump sum for the rest of the phone?

You can cancel the sim plan by calling sky on 150 and continue paying monthly for the phone or pay off in one go but you can't just send it back @Casey7
