This guide explains how to switch from Sky Mobile to EE and keep your mobile number.
Most number transfers complete within 1 to 2 working days once EE has your PAC code.
If you want a new number instead, text STAC to 75075 and give the code to EE.
This switch will take you from O2's network to EE's network. Coverage may differ in some areas. Check EE's coverage checker before switching.

To keep your number, request a PAC code from Sky Mobile and give it to EE.
You can usually give EE your PAC code when you order, or after your new SIM card or eSIM has been activated.
1. Request a PAC code from Sky Mobile
Here is how to get your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from Sky Mobile:
- Text: Text "PAC" followed by your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format to 65075 from your Sky Mobile phone. For example, if your date of birth is 17 August 1983, text PAC 17081983. You will get a text back with your code within a minute.
- Online: Go to sky.com/leavesky and sign in to your Sky account to request your PAC code.
- Phone: Call Sky Mobile on 03300 412 524.
If you are the account holder, Sky Piggybank data sharing stops when you leave and any linked devices lose their shared allowance.
2. Order a SIM only deal from EE
If you have not ordered yet, compare current SIM only deals below.

If you already have your new SIM, continue to Step 3.
If EE asks for your PAC code during checkout, enter it there. If not, wait for your new SIM or eSIM to activate, then give EE the PAC code using the method below.
EE SIM plans are tiered, and inclusive EU roaming only starts at the Essentials Plus tier, so check what is included before you order.
3. Give the PAC code to EE
Once you have your PAC code, follow these steps to give it to EE:
- Online: Give your PAC code to EE via their online transfer form.
- Phone: Call EE on 150 from your EE phone or 07953 966250 from another phone.
- Open everyday from 8am - 6pm.
- In-store: Pop in to your nearest EE store and give them your PAC code.
EE will then handle the transfer of your number. Give them your PAC code within 30 days of receiving it — after that it expires and you will need to request a new one from Sky Mobile.
4. Wait for your number transfer to EE to complete
EE will send the transfer request to Sky Mobile.
Your number should move to your new EE SIM within 1 to 2 working days.
