Back with sky but only old details on my account

Helenc25 — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 10:54:10 GMT

So I've come back to Sky after a couple of years and signed up to a Q contract and have a fitting date.

I have an account number however when I log into my sky account (the one I've always had) I can't see anything about my new contract.

Ive used the same email and phone number but nothing there big my 2021 contract and old address.

I've been on the chat ages but haven't got anywhere, they suggested phoning IDM but I don't know how to get to them or who they are

Any ideas?

thanks

Call sky and when the automated message says we have sent you a link would you like to use it say no and stay on the line and you should get to talk to an advisor and hopefully get it sorted out,

@Helenc25 If you left Sky and are rejoining after more than 12 months away your old account would have been closed and a new one created

If you want to use the same email address as the old account you need to remove and replace it with a different address on the old account first

You can do this yourself via this link

Once done your free to create a new sky id using the same email address here

if you no longer can't access the old account for whatever reason the only option is to use a different email (you can get free email accounts from the likes of gmail etc)
