Hi there, i'm trying to get the contact number to change the account name details on my Sky accountas recently divorced, the websiite says call us and then gives a 0333 number which is useless for Ireland
very frustrating as the websites send me round in circles and i end up here.
Any help would be much appreciated😕

Re: Change Account Name
@ABIreland note that while you'll be able to change your name Sky don't allow change of ownership. So if the account is in your ex's name, they'll need to cancel to enable you to sign up in your name.

Re: Change Account Name
Hi there @ABIreland is it to just change the surname? If it is, I can help with that.
If it's changing ownership, as mentioned above, you will need to cancel and open in a different name.
Let me know if you need me to help with this 🙂

Re: Change Account Name
You'll need to cancel, so that she can sign up as a customer in her own name.

Re: Change Account Name
@ABIreland If your account had sky q equipment attached to it then that equipment will need returning as it is linked to your account
your ex will receive new equipment on sign up

Re: Change Account Name
After changing the flag try reloading the page in your browser as it should be an 0818 that you see.
If someone has helped you then please click on the LIKES button in their post.
