Can't receive international calls

On my landline, I can receive calls from the UK, either from mobiles or landlines, but when my parents (who are abroad) try to call me, there's no ringing tone on either side. It's not their phone, since they're able to call my sister who's also in the UK. I believe this has happened in the past, someone on Sky changed the settings without me asking. Could you please make sure I can receive international calls? I don't know anyone else abroad so can't ask them to try...

I'm not sure if you are aware @ScarletBea but you are only talking to other Sky customers on here so if you want this investigated then you will need to phone Sky via the free 150 phone number.

Re: Can't receive international calls

Hi @Lisa-P1987 , could you please contact me on chat again?

The engineer fixed the line but the problem remains, he says the problem is on Sky's side. 

 

I've tried with friends in other countries too and it doesn't work for them either, it looks like someone set a block to all international calls.

It's not me, I'm not even aware that's possible on a landline.

Hi, no issues - as I said there, I tested a couple of times during the 48 hours and there were no more problems, so yes, I think the problem is solved.

Thanks a lot for your help 🙂
