Out of interest, what was your reason for leaving?
Was thinking of moving to them for the 2 year sim when my EE simo runs out later this month.
Coverage was fine, though no short code services for comps etc, and the fact they are totally dismissing my referral money they owe me for some referrals from here.
Moved to iD mobile which had been faultless, possibly even to Lebara 42p deal for 50GB I have at present - waiting to see how the Vodafone coverage improves as it drops down to Edge more often than Iād like.
Interesting, thanks. Will bear that in mind.
Might try my luck with EE retentions if I can be bothered.
Going abroad tomorrow so hopefully Voxi gives me free roaming again

Finland for the Easter weekend - will be introducing the in-laws to an Easter lamb roast.
Any ideas what would be the best cause of action here?
My Sky mobile SIM only minimum contract is coming to an end in a few months (I still have a phone contract with them for another few years) but Iāll be abroad. As far as Iām aware, you can only do the PAC code when in the UK. I donāt want to pay the higher price when my Sky minimum comes to an end and their current offers arenāt great so will likely leave.
Am I right that I will likely have to terminate my contract early, pay that fee, then move to another network before my holiday?
And seriously, this word filter isnāt great. A word for waste that can mean bad isnāt allowed. How is that offensive to anyone?
Donāt you just do the PAC online?
Potentially? I thought you had to text some number but there may be a way to do it online. Canāt quite remember from last time
Looks like you can request one online. Donāt know how I missed that. Would everything work probably with set up etc if I was doing it from abroad?
Giffgaff is testing broadband by the way. Some may want to take a look (I know this is on the broadband thread, some may be interested to hear about it here though)

I donāt see why not. It takes a few days anyway.

May just sort it out beforehand just to make sure it works. Terminating my contract early wonāt impact me right? Apart from the extra cost (which Sky says I can reduce by switching plans beforehand)? Especially when Iām still with Sky for my phone contract?
You need to ask Sky for clarity.
You usually canāt activate a UK sim abroad. As for disconnecting, the short code service for PAC 65075 or STAC 75075 should work abroad I believe but you may need to check online for that.
In terms of ending your sim and the device plan still going, with O2 it would sum up the entire balance and demand it within 30 days or so, but again worth speaking to Sky to check if it is standalone.

Sky I think is one of the few companies to do completely separate phone and SIM plans so my contract for both are completely separate. Canāt see why one would effect the other.
Thatās why you need to check with them.
I did check on their forum but obviously, they are not Sky employees. Annoyingly, it seems the only way to contact them directly is with the phone
I did look through the process and my device plan was not mentioned at all when looking to stop my SIM. Again, legally, the contracts are separate so I doubt Sky could force me to pay my phone if I cancel my sim
Is this referring to cancelling Sky mobile SIM contract but still paying for my phone?
If youāre a Sky Mobile customer, you may be able to reduce your early termination charge by changing your plan before you cancel. If you have any outstanding credit agreements for your product(s), your monthly repayments will continue, or you can choose to pay the remaining balance in full
I will still have a credit agreement for my phone which will need paying off so I assume my monthly repayments will continue
Theyāre saying downgrade your sim only plan before you port out or cancel to save money.
The device plan will continue as normal.

Thank you! Thatās what I thought.
And as far as Iām aware, thats exactly what I want. Early termination of SIM plan to avoid problems when abroad, with my device contract unaffected.
And Iāve changed my plan to hopefully reduce that cost, although it wasnāt too high to begin with anyway.
What network you off to?
