Get Sky without UK phone number?

[MerlinS]

Hello!

I'm moving to the UK coming weekend and would love to have a Broadband ready for the week thereafter, but to be able to get an order placed i seemingly need a UK phone number. Something I do not have. Can I get around this somehow?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @MerlinS 

I dont think there is to be honest. A phone number is required by Sky because you get updates/calls regarding installation on it & I assume Sky has put a restriction on only UK based numbers. 

Best thing I can suggest is to see if a provider will issue you an eSIM which you can start using straight away and perhaps use that number for signing up to Sky.
