Phone number for Sky TV

[Heston]

does anyone know a telephone number for sky TV which isnt blocked when phoning from Spain on a land line or mobil?
Thanks

Id very much doubt you will be able to call sky from Spain...
I hope your not ringing them to ask about upgrading your sky subscription thats been fitted in your spanish casa lol

If you cant get a telephone number,why not email them.

Have tried that they just ignore you!!You used to be able to call if you used a mobile..what do you mean sky in a Spanish casa as if anyone would dare do that!!!LOL!!

[princess peach]

Maybe someone else might come along later and have a number for you..
I know we had to wait until we were back in the UK to contact them a couple of years ago...
Good Luck tho...

The other way around it, is set up a skype account, then you can call them on their standard numbers, at fair price...

If you call from a mobile (even if you block your number) it will still show up as International and there is no way of stopping it.

You could try Saynoto0870 http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php and enter either the phone number or company name.

and they would still know you were calling from abroad.
Why not get someone in the UK to phone pretending they are you?

Use the skype system, and you can call with it showing just an unknown number, or if you subscribe, you can have a uk based telephone number, and use it anywhere in the world, for incoming and outgoing calls.

I tried Skype to call a Sky number, because I was having a problem with my new 'Skycard'. Trouble was, I was instructed to press a number to be put through to a department, I tried waiting, I tried pressing numbers on my keyboard and on the Skype keypad, but nothing, I couldn't get passed the recorded message.
I got a friend to ring from Britain, pretending to be me, he was told “I need you to do some checks for me, are you in front of the TV now”?........................Thwarted again

Heston - could we ask what you need to get in touch with Sky for? Might help someone solve your problem

I just want to renew my package

[murbisa]

Is it not possible to do this online. I managed to cancel my package online and they even phoned me on my english mobile to try and talk me out of it!!

[Heston]

tried that but they ignore me and i dont have an english mobile..you used to be able to get through from Spain, my hubby bought a box office boxing match recently

If you want to do it on their website you could try to do it through a UK proxy sever so to them it appears that you're in the UK. I've had to do this now and again with UK based websites.However, never with SKY. It should work though.It's how I watch the BBC iplayer here in Spain

[murbisa]

I don't think that is the problem Mark as I did it online from Spain and that was only about 3 months ago.

I think there are diallers which "spoof" your originating telephone number to make it appear that your call originates in the UK.
There was a very old thread in a satellite forum which lead here:- http://www.click2freedom.com/

I do not know if the company are still going, so proceed at your own risk!
