Sky ban override numbers

I see that from 1 July Sky Talk are blocking override providers.
In practice it seems they have already done this as I get disconnected after their prerecorded message announcing the ban.
I'm locked into Sky until next May - is there a way round this ban? I use 18185.

Yes there's at least a partial (but more expensive) way round the ban - use 18185's freephone or geographical gateway numbers (the latter obviously only in the periods during which your Sky Talk calls plan gives you inclusive geographical calls) instead.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
