Sky with no landline question

hillendale

Will sky still connect you up if you don't have a working landline at the property' I really want sky but don't want to reconnect my old landline
I understand they used to charge £25 if you don't have a landline is this still the case.

Yes, you can buy out the landline requirement for about £25 at sign up.
But the requirement is rarely enforced anyway (unless you have Multiroom, in which case it most certainly is).

Many thanks for taking the time to reply your info is appreciated

Look in your local town or shopping centre for a sky rep who will usually allow this to be waived when you sign up with them as its now something that is rarely enforced by sky unless your multiroom.

i signed up online and ticked the box saying my line was getting installed at a later date. That was over a year and a half ago and still dont have one lol. Didnt pay any waiver either.

Folk keep on saying that sky enforce the phone line rule when relating to multi room.

I have had multi room for an age, many years, it has never been connected and I have never received a warning letter or phone call
from Sky.

They DO enforce it,but considering the amount of subscribers they have in the UK & Ireland,to do so is,imho,impractical & not cost affective as I believe the software/processes they use are ineffective to fully go after everyone who's box isn't connected.I also believe it too much hassle for them as well....

I myself received the letter from Sky,turned out it was a faulty modem in my second buy,and I'd say over half the service calls I got when I worked for Sky were to do with multi-room call backs.

Although some multiroom boxes do slip through the net a vast majority do not due to Sky policing this aspect to stop fraudulent use of multiroom cards at different addresses. I personally have experienced both sides of this in having inadvertently not reconnected a phone line to a box that I had moved and this lasted for six months before I noticed and reconnected. A subsequent replacement of the same box a few months later and bad phone connection resulted in warning letters a couple of months later. So please do not advise people that they will get away with it when there is a very good chance that they will not.

Sorry Dave,I wasn't telling people that they'll get away with it,I was simply offering an explanation as to why & how they have slipped thru the cracks & not yet been caught as yet.

Hello there I am very new to this( like today). Can anyone help. I wish to sign up to sky via cashback site but when you get to site, You need to put in landline number which I do not have. I understand you can pay £25 which is fine but can I get away with an old number so I can get cash back? I hope this makes sense. Many thanks in advance.
