[QUOTE="feist, post: 621786, member: 327401"] Thanks [B]Zorba[/B], you are correct so bottom line is : [B]For sky users outside the UK trying to phone sky – skype[/B] From July 2009 – sky have discontinued all the old phone numbers putting in place a new system so you will not find any other number than a 08442…… number that you cannot access by fixed or mobile phones outside the UK. As Zoba said skype does work I did it from France last night 24/07/09 and got my card set to a different box. Sky seems very happy to talk to a skype connection and probably have no idea where you are calling from. I’m not new to the ups and downs of Sky, have had a subscription working in France for over 15 years, and have seen many of these half hearted attempts at imposing copyright/copy left law ????. but they also know they have millions of paying customers aboard that at the drop of a hat will abandon sky and go freesat. What amazes me is Sky has never reacted to this market and been able to come up with an offer that is both legal for them and us. Keeping your sky card Paired and not running out of HP sauce are all in the daily routine of us expats And thanks to _www.skyinfrance.co.uk who answered my phone call last night and also confirmed skype as the only soloution. p.s – load of crap on sky tonight, probably watch the BBC … [/QUOTE]
