Sky & BT telephone account

Does anyone know why Sky have a rule that if you want to put a bar on "Premium Rate" calls they also bar all international calls?
They won't allow you to stop the use of these exorbitant rate premium numbers unless you go to BT for making international calls.
This seems a rather strange rule unless of course they also make a lot of money from the Premium rate calls?

Welcome to the MSE forums millsimills.

I assume you're on Sky Talk Unlimited - so you're getting 'free' calls of up to an hour at any time to UK 01/02 numbers and to ten international destinations for £5/month.

That's a pretty good deal but, as you say, Sky do have that strange call barring anomaly. You're not the first to complain - see HERE.

As I did on that thread, I'd suggest one or more Phone Guards would overcome the problem.
