Activation of channels

[Mordente]

I upgraded my sky account. I cancelled BT sport from BT and have now got it included in my Sky package. How long does it take for sky to activate the channel?  Does anyone know a phone number to speak to a person at sky? Thanks so much in advance

@Mordente I haven't got BT Sport so can't answer that part. If you already have a Sky Talk landline or a Sky Mobile ring Sky free by just dialling 150. Otherwise you can use this link:
https://www.sky.com/help/home 
UK: Scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides an 0333 number.
ROI: change the flag in the very bottom corner of the same link to the ROI flag then scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides an 0818 number.

Apparently the lines are sometimes quieter just after 7am or about 9pm so it may be worth trying then (times vary in ROI). Stay on the line and don’t hang up if you’re prompted to.

Thanks so much. I am phoning now! 😊

@Mordente  it can take up to 4 hours I was told when I got my BT Sport but it actually activated in about 30 mins.

All sorted. Contacted Sky and the girl was amazing. Great customer service and activated in the 15 minutes I was in the call. Thanks again for your help 😊
