A phone call from an unidentified company told me our IP had gone from private to public.
I don't know what the message means. I'm an OAP and not techy at all. I think it is as a fraudulent phone call but I'm worried that simething might be wrong with our Sky inter service.
can anyone help, please.

@JayAnnStar Sky nor any other broadband provider would call you like this, the caller will most likely have been a scammer.
Did you you provideand details or give them access to your ipad? If not then you should be ok.

No, not at all: it's a bogus start to an attempt to defraud you.
