Phone bill

I have a question. So I'm struggling to pay my bills this month, and I've been with sky mobile 2 years now and never missed a payment. I'm just wondering that if I missed in payment would my phone get cut off? Not that I need to use it when I'm out the house anyways but obviously I'm worrying as I simply can't afford it this month with becoming recently single and a parent of 2, with Christmas round the corner. It would only be this month, it also says on my account that my bill is paid so I don't know how this is when the payment hasn't left me bank?

@Louisa-may
If your services are not yet restricted the following process applies to everyone, regardless of any personal circumstances …

🟫If you have a Direct Debit set up and the full payment fails on the normal payment date Sky will automatically attempt it again 10 calendar days later (so DO NOT be tempted to make a manual payment in this period).

After 10 days, if that second attempt also fails Sky may send a text and/or email notifying you that your payment has failed again and you then have a day or two at best before they restrict your services.

🟫If you have a Continuous Card payment method set up, if the full payment fails Sky send the text/email notification about the failed payment and you usually have at best 2/3 days before being restricted. There is no grace period and I believe only 1 attempt is made for a card payment, so if this has failed, you will need to pay manually and then reset the payment method for next month.

Restrictions are an automated process and we’ve been told Customer Service agents can’t stop it… even if you’re told otherwise on the phone. Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or a promise to pay on or by a certain date.

It may be that the payment to Sky has been 'requested' from the bank but not yet processed.

Hi @Paulcox I'm afraid that we are going to need a few more clues, if we are to provide any help. Error messages etc.
