Validating Netflix account whilst abroad

Scornpaul — Sun, 28 May 2023 17:20:54 GMT

My Netflix accidentally got removed from my package. I've reinstated it but now have to revalidate the account... How do I do this whilst abroad? I won't be home to do it via my SkyQ box for a few months... I've contacted Netflix and they told me to contact Sky. Can't phone from here (£2 per minute). Thanks a lot!

Don't understand why you can't log into your account on the Netflix app?

Me neither!

It's asking my to activate (not validate) my account, but none of the links seem to work. When I log in to my Netflix account, it just says that my account is on hold.

If you pay throigh Sky you aren't being billed directly through Netflix so can't activate accounts without access to a Sky box.

That's what I was afraid of.
