Wanting a swap but my phone has a virus
Hello.
I do not owe any money on my phone, but it has a virus. Would Sky refuse to accept it in a swap situation. ?
If a swap is not possible. I would keep the phone and upgrade to a new one. On keeping my original sim, am I right in thinking I can carry on
paying for my original plan and pay for the monthly fee for the new phone. ?

@Flower7 Almost certainly they'd reject it as the phone should be in full working order, you'll need to get the virus removed yourself and ensure the device if fully reset.

Hi @Flower7 if you don't owe any money on your phone you can't swap. You can apply to buy a new phone.
