Has calling from abroad ever got your Sky card cancelled?

[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 120813, member: 175235"] OK we've all read and heard many stories about activating Sky/FTV cards, or changing Sky subscriptions, from an overseas number leading to the cards being cancelled. But has this actually happened to you? The solutions are always the same, use a UK roaming mobile, get your mate back home to do it, block the number etc, but is this really necessary? I've called Sky many times over the years from a Spanish landline without any attempt to hide the number, and never had any questions, let alone problems. The reports I've read online are never seem first hand, people have been told by installers, experts, relatives, friends about the dangers, but I've not read anything where someone reports that this has actually happened to them. So, who has it happened to? It's become urban legend...never phone Sky from abroad...is this actually based on fact? The digidialer used to activate accounts and bill PPV events calls from foreign landlines, if Sky check up so much on voice calls then why don't they check on data ones? I'm not saying that this has never happened, but does anyone have any [i]first hand[/i] experience of it actually happening to them? [/QUOTE]
