I would like to make my phone number private, as I am receiving scam calls

@S1d1 you can ask Sky to make your number ex-directory, but as @Daniel0210 posted, it won't stop scammers. Better to activate Sky's free Sky Talk Shield.

There's nothing you or Sky can do about scam calls I'm afraid.

Unlisted numbers aren't 'private': they can still be reached by autodialers trying every legitimate combination of digits.
