Services currently being restricted

IanP17 — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:49:40 GMT

Been with Sky for over 30 yrs for tv, broadband ,sky talk and mobile phones. all bills fully paid. Recently accessed my account with a view to upgrade my phone.

met with the message

"Your services are currently being restricted"

when I click on the button "Reinstate my services " I'm taken to my bill which shows no issues but I still can't access part of the app to upgrade my phone. I contacted customer services but couldn't get an answer as to which and why my services were being restricted and what the possible consequences could be. I don't appear to have any other issues
