This guide explains how to switch from Chattr to Sky Mobile and keep your mobile number.

Most number transfers complete within 1 to 2 working days once Sky Mobile has your PAC code.

If you want a new number instead, text STAC to 75075 and give the code to Sky Mobile.

Chattr and Sky Mobile both run on O2's network, so your coverage will not change when you switch. You are changing provider, but your signal will still use the same network.

To keep your number, request a PAC code from Chattr and give it to Sky Mobile.

You can usually give Sky Mobile your PAC code when you order, or after your new SIM card or eSIM has been activated.

1. Request a PAC code from Chattr

Here is how to get your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from Chattr:

  • Text: Text "PAC" to 65075 from your Chattr phone. You will get a text back with your code within a minute. This is a free service from Ofcom (the UK's communications regulator).
  • Email: Email Chattr at hello@chattr.co.uk to request your PAC code.

Chattr is an online-only network with no stores or phone line.

2. Order a SIM only deal from Sky Mobile

If you already have your new SIM, continue to Step 3.

If Sky Mobile asks for your PAC code during checkout, enter it there. If not, wait for your new SIM or eSIM to activate, then give Sky Mobile the PAC code using the method below.

Sky Mobile stores unused data in a Piggybank you can dip into later, though not on unlimited plans.

Sky Mobile offers eSIMs, so you can switch without waiting for a physical SIM to arrive.

3. Give the PAC code to Sky Mobile

Once you have your PAC code, here is how to give it to Sky Mobile:

  • Online: Enter your PAC code at checkout when you order, or go to the Transfer your number to Sky page and sign in to your Sky account.
  • Phone: Call Sky Mobile on 03300 412 524 and give them your PAC code.

4. Wait for your number transfer to Sky Mobile to complete

Sky Mobile will send the transfer request to Chattr.

Your number should move to your new Sky Mobile SIM within 1 to 2 working days.
