How to Leave Sky Mobile

If you are thinking about leaving Sky Mobile, it is important to know what happens to your contract, number, and any bundled services. This guide explains how to check your contract status, cancel or switch, and what to expect when you leave Sky Mobile.

Check your contract first

Before you leave Sky Mobile, log in to your Sky Mobile account online or use the Sky Mobile app to check your contract end date. Your dashboard should display your contract details, including the minimum term and end date. If you cannot find this information, call Sky Mobile customer service on 03300 412524 and ask for your contract end date and any early termination charges.

If you are still within your minimum contract period, Sky Mobile may charge an early termination fee. This fee is calculated based on the number of months left on your contract. For example, if your plan is £10 per month and you have six months remaining, your early exit fee would be £60. Always check your contract or contact Sky for the exact figure before making a decision.

How to cancel or switch

If you want to leave Sky Mobile without moving to another provider, you can cancel by calling 03300 412524, using your online account, via the Sky Mobile app, or by visiting a Sky retail store. You must give Sky Mobile at least 31 days' notice. After you request cancellation, you will receive a confirmation reference number. Keep this safe in case you need it later.

If you are switching to a new mobile provider and want to keep your number, request a Porting Authorisation Code (PAC) from Sky Mobile. Text 'PAC' followed by your date of birth (in DDMMYYYY format) to 65075. Give this PAC to your new provider, who will handle the switch and cancel your Sky Mobile contract. If you do not want to keep your number, you can request a STAC code instead by texting 'STAC' to 75075. The new provider will manage the cancellation process for you.

What happens to your account

When you leave Sky Mobile, you can keep your mobile number if you use a PAC code. Sky Mobile does not provide email addresses, so there are no email services to lose. If you have Sky TV or Sky Broadband as part of a bundle, check your contract or contact Sky to see if cancelling your mobile service affects any discounts or package deals. Any unused data allowances or benefits will not carry over after cancellation. If you have leased a device through Sky Mobile, you may need to return it in good condition to avoid extra charges.
