@JFeneck

Sky won't / can't contact you based on your post. Your Community log in name isn't linked to any Sky accounts you may have, so no one knows who you are anyway.

If your services have been restricted it will almost certainly be because of a missed payment. Sky won’t reinstate them until you’ve paid what you owe and you’ve also set up a new continuous payment method.

Until you’ve done this any calls to Sky will only prompt you to pay.

Restrictions of services are automatic and Skys agents can’t override the process, even if you’re told otherwise. Sky don't allow payment plans on overdue live accounts, nor will they consider promises to pay on or by a certain date.

If your payment is 2+ weeks overdue you will have to pay the next bill as well and if you’re in arrears for 56+ days Sky can fully terminate your subscription (but you’ll still owe the arrears).

If this is part of a credit agreement purchase (mobile or Sky Glass) non payment can see the credit agreement cancelled at which point the full amount becomes due in one payment .

Once your full payment has cleared and is in Sky’s account your services should be reinstated, but this may not be instant. Any payment you make over a weekend or on a Bank Holiday won’t be processed until the following week.

You should be able to pay the bill and set up your direct debit via the MySky app or online using this link

I actually got my account reinstated just a few days ago they said I was fine to pay the balance on Friday and now because my next bill has been produced it's locked me out again

this is beyond frustrating I'm leaving sky 😵‍💫

@JFeneck

Sky will not contact you and in any case you will need to pay what you owe to get your service restored then you can contact them.

I just need to speak to a human they are usually helpful once you get through to them regardless what you've said here

@JFeneck

You need to pay what you owe as advised earlier. Any calls will only prompt you to pay.

@JFeneck

You can't leave while services are restricted.

If the system identifies your number or account then it will not let you proceed without paying.

You *may* be able to talk to them by using a number they don't recognise or withholding with 141 prefix. Try calling 150.

@JFeneck You can stop that frustration by paying your bill on time, as your next bill has been produced Sky will probably insist you pay that aswell as the oustanding balance before they reinstate your service.

You cannot seriously expect to keep using a service you haven't paid for.
