My father passed away recently, resulting in me creating a new sky ID for my mother and making various changes to their sky package. They had TV, broadband and mobile phones.
All seemed to be going OK until I realised that I couldn't see the mobile phone accounts. I have now spent many frustrating hours over the past week on the phone speaking to lots of different people at Sky, who I honestly think have done their best to resolve, but to no avail.
I actually can't keep doing this - there are many things that need organised, and 2 hours a day talking to sky is a huge drain. It's also upsetting to my mother, and I have had enough.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve?

Thanks, unfortunately I can't log in to my father's sky account (in fact it says there is no email address linked now).

Thank you @caesarome , I set up a gmail account and linked that to my father's account - that's where the mobile details are! Really what I need is for everything to be transferred over to the new ID that I set up for my mother. I can't have her logging in using my dad's details all the time.

Posted by a Sky employeeThanks for escalating. It sounds like this is something our Sky ID team needs to look into, if the ID needs unlinking and setting up on a different email. Unfortunately our team cannot do this. The best option is to call or try the contact section at the bottom of this link; https://www.sky.com/help/articles/welcome-to-sky

Thanks @Lisa-P1987, I have called 4 times over the past week and been on the phone for more than an hour each time. I'd say that I've also been passed round about 5 times on each call. As I said above, I really think everyone at Sky has tried to help, it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
