Transferring PAC to an eSim

TommyP2 — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 21:14:08 GMT

Hi Christopher,

I am based in U.K. but currently working overseas (so no access to a physical Sim Card delivery). Is it possible to purchase an eSim package and then transfer my old number using a PAC code from Sky directly to the eSim without ever needing a physical Sim card?

Thanks

No, @TommyP2 , SIMs need to be activated 1st in the UK.

Ok, thanks for coming back. Do you know if this is possible with any other providers ... or could i get someone at home to activate for me whilst i'm away?

Know nowt about other providers!

You could get someone at your UK addy to activate & then send the physical SIM to you but that won't handle an eSIM as that would be on your physical phone which is not in UK.
