Re: Age restrictions
Is this for your mobile?
If it is see this link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/parental-controls-sky-mobile
Only a credit card will suffice (not a debit card). You can borrow a credit card if you haven't got one yourself, it doesn't have to be yours. The only other way is if you have signed a credit agreement with Sky, then they will already know you are 18 or over so if you call them on 150 they can deactivate this for you.

Re: Age restrictions
Then I would suggest calling Sky as they might be able to help especially if you have also signed a credit agreement for a mobile device as only someone sged 18 and over can do this.
