Unused data transfer

[skygazzer]

Hi my sky mobile contract is ending soon I intend to purchase a new iPhone at that time I need to know if i can purchase the phone but without a data plan as I have unused data can I transfer that data to the new phone and use it till I need to buy a data plan ( I have approx 2.5 gb unused )

Any new dataplan you purchase will have a new phone number

Simply use your existing SIM.

You should be able to order a phone and select the 'I do not need a dataplan' option.

@skygazzer  To use any data from the piggy bank you need an active sim/data plan, lowering your current plan to the lowest available plan is the only thing you will be able to do.

If this is a second additonal device you still need  sim/data plan for that to use any piggybank data.

Ah... I think I see what you're asking.

Dataplan contracts do not end until you cancel them.  The piggybank will be maintained whilst there's a least one remaining SIM on the account.  If you cancel the last SIM on the account then the piggybank disappears.

To maintain the piggybank you need an active dataplan (with a monthly cost).

And I can transfer my unused data and purchase a data plan later I intend to keep the same number I also have another phone that I can transfer unused data from if needed
