How to transfer your number from Sky Mobile to VOXI?

1) Check you’re eligible to switch from Sky Mobile

Assuming you’re out of contract, you’re free to switch from Sky Mobile any time you like and it won’t cost you anything.

Not sure if you’re still under contract? You can find out by contacting Sky Mobile's customer support team on 03300 412 524 from your Sky Mobile phone. Or on 03300 412 524 from any other phone (standard network charges apply).

The support team’s working hours are 8.30am-11pm every day.

If you’d prefer not to call, you can also find out your contract end date by logging in to your Sky Mobile account, or by opening up the Sky Mobile app on your phone.

And if you’re interested in switching but want a bit more information first, text INFO to 85075.

2) Contact Sky Mobile to tell them you want to leave and get your PAC Code

Next item on the agenda is to get in touch with Sky Mobile to tell them you’d like to leave. To do this, just text PAC to 65075 to get your PAC code. It’s this short, alphanumeric code that will enable you to transfer your existing phone number to the network you want to join. You don't even need to make a phone call.

If you'd prefer to speak to somebody, just ring Sky Mobile on one of the numbers in step 1, tell them you want to leave and ask for your PAC Code.

It’s a legal requirement that networks provide you with your PAC Code within two hours of your request.

Once you’ve got your PAC Code, you’ll have 30 days to use. Thereafter it expires. So if you haven’t used it within this timeframe, you’ll need to contact Sky Mobile to get a new one.

3) Find and buy a SIM from VOXI

Right, so you’re sure you’re of contract. The next step is to select a SIM-only deal from VOXI and sign up for it through Uswitch.

VOXI will carry out some credit checks. Once they're out of the way, you’ll receive your SIM card in the post.

4) Contact VOXI to give them your PAC Code

Not long to go now. Your next task is to ring VOXI to tell them your PAC Code.

Get in touch over the phone on 03333 040 191. The call centre’s opening hours are 8am-9pm every day.

5) Insert the VOXI SIM card in your phone

Using a pin-key, open up the SIM tray on the side of your phone and insert your Voxi SIM.

Your number won’t be transferred straightaway. But while you’re waiting, you’ll be given a temporary number, so you’ll still be able to use your phone.

6) Wait for your number to be transferred

The time it takes to transfer a number varies from network to network. But unless a weekend gets in the way, your number transfer should be complete the next working day.

Once that’s done, you’re good to go.
