Not necessarily true. My card is registered at my daughter address and she recently had Sky installed. There were no problems. When asked about the existing subscription she just said is was for a different part of the house.

Under these circumstances they will try and sell you the multi room option (which is a good deal but both boxes must be connected to the same phone line) but she just said that there was no phone line installed there.

If you only want the £20 FTV card, then they will let you have more than one. The problem with people being cut off was where there were hundreds of FTV cards registered at the same address

It may not be necessarily true Fred, but its certainly the safe bet. My daughter doesn't have SKY and I'd always take the safer option that might not prompt SKY to ask the question

Now to put willies up you even more (;))

i have heard that Sky were or had upgraded their phone centres to stop calls from Skype and non-uk based phonelines (possibly including UK mobiles), or at least be able to identify that they were originating outside the UK, making it a bit more tricky.

Well all I can say is I know of someone who called them on Skype a month or so ago and they had no problem.

I suppose you have you ask the question, are Skype really going to go out of their way to lose customers by doing this?

If you're really worried then why not give all the details to your sister and let her call

SD if you are on a telefonica telephone line put 067 before dialing and this blanks out where you are calling from if you use a mobile hash 31 hash has the same effect I always use it when I am making dirty phone calls to the old ladies in my village.......... when I ask them what they are wearing .....its always black maybe I should try someone a bit younger say 60/65 :rofl:
