Re: Help please
As your phone has been restricted paying the bill in full when you can will be the only way it will be reinstated amd you will also need to setup your payment method again before this will occur.
If someone has helped you then please click on the LIKES button in their post.
If you need help please provide as much information as you can

Re: Help please
@Jackie72 the restriction is imposed automatically, I'm afraid, regardless of the conversation you had with Sky. If Sky had agreed otherwise, you'll need to contact them to protest.
You may need to use their social media contact points in order to do so, as they almost certainly won't be able to take your call while the restrictions are in place

Re: Help please
As you have discovered Sky don't allow promises to pay on or by a certain date, they are automatically applied and agents cannot override the process, even if you’re told otherwise.
Sky won’t reinstate restricted services until the arrears 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.
If your payment is then 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
