@Rebeccalystergree
Services won’t be reinstated until the arrears Sky believe you owe have been paid and you’ve also set up a new continuous payment method. Until then any calls to Sky will only prompt you to pay.

Restrictions are applied automatically and can’t be overridden by agents. 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. 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 (Sky 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

@Rebeccalystergree why would Sky reinstate your service when you haven't paid your bill?

You'll get reinstated once you've paid your bill.

if you're having financial difficulty paying the bill then please call Sky customer services and let them know, you can sometimes set up a payment plan.

Unfortunately as the OPs services are already restricted any calls to Sky will only prompt them to pay what they owe. The calls won't get as far as an agent.

Sky don't allow payment plans on overdue live accounts.
