stay with my old number, but change sim

I already have a SKY sim but it was my brother-in-law who requested it for me on his behalf. Now that I have a SKY account, I ordered a sim for myself and I can't use the PAC (to use my old number) of the old sim because they are both SKY.

That's correct.  You cannot use a PAC code within a network.

 

The workaround is to port it out of the network and back in again.

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own

So you say that I need to buy a chip from another company, pass my number and then transfer it to the new one from SKY?

Hi @SamyBonavita  yes that's correct if you want to keep your old number. Get a PAYG sim from a different network, port to that sim with your PAC then port back to your new sky sim.
