Impossible to turn off parental control
I am 31, don't have a credit card. I have now called SEVEN times to ask Sky mobile to remove parental control from my sim, in the span of 2 months. EVERY SINGLE TIME they apologised and said they would solve it within 24 to 48 hours, that the previous agent had done a mistake and that they guaranteed they would solve it. I have never had this problem with any mobile provider. I definetly feel like I've made a terrible mistake signing a contract with sky, I feel not listened to and misled. Never felt so frustrated with any customer service. I want to cancel my contract with Sky immediately. I will let anyone I know not to ever get a sky mobile account.

Re: Impossible to turn off parental control
Only a credit card will suffice as you've found (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 by calling Sky.

Re: Impossible to turn off parental control
Hi @Fil3 do you have a credit agreement with sky as they should use that to remove the controls if you don't have access to a credit card.

Re: Impossible to turn off parental control
If you have taken out a device contract then Sky will be able to turn it off for you so give them a call on 150. If you are a sim only customer then you only option is to use a credit card from someone else,
If someone has helped you then please click on the LIKES button in their post.
If you need help please provide as much information as you can
