You have 30 days to change your mind so to arrange it's return you will need to call Sky.

If you have made any payments towards the phone these should be returned within 2-3 weeks.

150 is the free number to use from another phone that has a Sky mobile sim in it or Sky Talk phone otherwise under "Need more help ?" link at the bottom of the page on this link is the number to call Sky on:

Try saying nothing when spoken to by the bot.

hi thank you, but do you know what will happen to the phone after i send it back to sky? what will they do with it??

@sofia17  No one on here can say with certainty, but I would imagine it will be resold or used as replacement stock

hi thank you, so another person would likely get the phone??

Possibly, why do you want to know ?

Seems a strange question to ask it you haven't used it.

i want to know because i would feel bad if it got taken apart or not sold...something like that.

why is it a strange question??? i'm just curious what will be done with it

I should imagine Sky get unopened phones returned to them all the time so you don't need to fell bad about doing this.
