Hi @Gman4  are you coming from a different network to join sky ?

[Gman4]

Yes , from o2

[63johnw]

Set up a sky account and order a new sky sim/plan @Gman4   When the sim arrives activate it. Request you PAC from O2 then give that to sky. Your number will then transfer from O2 to sky the next day, porting doesn't happen at weekends so if you use your PAC on a Friday it won't transfer until the following Monday/Tuesday.
