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

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.
