Sky TV again!

Its no so much about hiding caller ID, its the fact thatt he new numbers used by many UK companies, inlcuding Sky, are simply not accessable from non UK phonelines.

So you may be able to block caller ID prior to dialing, but even then the number may not be accessable.

You can always get someone in the UK to pretend to be you and call sky on your behalf (make sure they have the details from Services, 4, 5 on the sky box!)

Thanks. So it is OK to call from Skype then, as Sammy said?

I tried using Voip Stunt-same as Skype-and no-I could not get through as Sky use a premium number I think.Voip Stunt- and I suspect Skype but I may be wrong- cannot access premium UK numbers.
Channel 5 is easily programmed into your box manually-also alter ITV regions. Loads of stuff on the intermet as to how to do it. Lx

Thanks Zilly. I got a number from someone which blocks where you are calling from. I did it this morning, no trouble and was all back on again within 20 minutes when they said it would take 2 hours. So a result.

Well done to you!I still have a new white unactivated card in my sky box-I've put in C5 but can't get my head round the phone thing as I don't have a land phone line-only a mobile as I live in the campo. Would the number blocking work with a mobile do you think? Lx

I have no idea but a friend of mine doesn´t have a landline and is going to use the number I gave her. I will see how she gets on and let you know. I will also pm you the number.
