[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 2806, member: 175089"] >NEVER PHONE SKY FROM OUTSIDE THE UK, THEY CAN SEE YOU ARE >ABROAD! Wrong. For the last two years I have sought clarification on this very point and I have yet to receive a reply from a SKY employee (or ex-one) on ANY NG that will substantiate this belief. My own experience is this. Most people (including myself) have all read or are aware of a well known website that says as much; i.e., DON'T. Do you have personal experience of this expat :-) Equally, I have not, to date, heard of an end user having their card disabled simply because they phoned from abroad. I could be on a business trip in Paris and wish to have the MU game ready for when I get home :-) Anyway, I'm not saying the journey is an easy one. First, they assume that all subscriber's have taken up the subsidy (which requires a phone connection). Worst still, the very idea that you have purchased you're own box AND don't have a phone connection is anathema to them. Thus resulting in merriment lasting up to several weeks. Whatever. To make my point - yes you can. I (sic) activated a card from Berlin today for a friend in the UK ;-) Have Fun, Mark. [/QUOTE]
