Hi @JulesM70  give sky a call and they will activate it for you, from a sky sim it's free on 150 from a sky sim or 033 375 941 55 from other networks. 





If someone has helped give them a thumbs up.

If their answer solved your issue mark it as the correct answer.

I won’t respond to direct messages so please post any problems on the forum.

They might want to send you a new sim but I would give Sky a call about this as the sim should have activated by now.

Re: iPad sim not able to activate

I have the same issue. Spoke to Sky about it and after a series of troubleshooting and potential resolutions failing to provide a solution, I was sent a new sim. New sim activated and installed, but unsurprisingly same issue persists. I call again, they suggest another new sim, I state that will not fix issue and direct them to all these posts in their website where rather than giving an answer the default position of Sky is to call individuals with issues - resulting in no answer appearing on line. This evidently a known issue at Sky, but they haven’t even shared knowledge of the issue with their call operators. Call operator ended up saying he would transfer me to development team, he didn't, he transferred me to cancellations team - who tried their best, but could not help.

 

Had this iPad and sim almost a month now and been entirely prevented from using the plan I’m paying for. Issue exacerbated by phone lines only being open from 9am so very difficult to call due to work commitments. this is not a good enough service, Sky. Please resolve without further delay.

Re: iPad sim not able to activate

My ipads are the same. Ive contacted sky on the online chat and even spoken to a manager but noone seems to understand.

ive ordered 2 new ipads with a sim each. Weve activated the sim but the numbers arent working. Ive tried calling it and it doesnt go through. Ive text it and doesnt go through. You can message from the ipad but it comes through from an icloud email address. Please can anyone shed some light on this. Thank you
