Getting Sky+HD with no 'phone line??

Hi guys..

Wanted to enquire here first before contacting Mssrs Sky...

Thinking of getting a Sky+HD box for a house that has no 'phone line: Don't want a 'phone line, have no plans to get a 'phone line. If I need t'InterWeb from the place I hot-spot off my mobile 'phone or use a 3G dongle/router.

I've read that there is a "no 'phone" option which costs an extra £25 on installation of single boxes only - but that multiroom needs a 'phone line. I only want the one box.

Can anyone confirm/deny ?? In particular any "tame" Sky staff??

Regards & Thanks in advance

  • Yes that is correct no phone option is available at £25

    Is this available on the website, or can it only be added to telephone orders?

    A one-off cost of £25 to avoid installing a phone line would be welcomed by me, but then if you end up missing out on vouchers and cashback it probably wouldn't be worth it!

    Thanks in advance.

    Yep,£25 notes for a no phone install...
    If Sky get shirty,go ahead with the install & when the dish monkey turns up to fit it,tell him the is a problem with the phoneline & it's not active.Then call Sky & tell them the phonelines not working.Had loads of customers like this when I was a DM for Sky..
