Sky offered me unlimited calls, but do they have a fair use policy?

    They do, but it's very vague!
    Your use of ‘unlimited’, ‘free’ or ‘no extra charge’ services provided as part of the Sky Mobile services (such as inclusive calls, texts or data), and the use by anyone you allow to use your Sky Mobile services, should not exceed that reasonably expected of a reasonable person using the Sky Mobile services for personal purposes as a consumer.

    Since the fair usage policy only applies to the unlimited texts and calls (data is limited) I fail to see how anybody could possibly abuse them.

    Thank you for the contract terms and conditions. I dont fancy waving thorugh all 37 pages of the T&Cs, I was hoping someone would have this information available.

    Surely better to wade through 37 pages (or just search for the correct section to save you even that) of their official terms rather than rely on a stranger on the internet whose opinion will hold no weight whatsoever with Sky? ;)

    Which is why I quoted the actual passage and then linked you to the terms so you could read for yourself.

    It all boils down to what you would consider a 'reasonable person'.

    And if you have to ask I assume you are not planning to be "reasonable", but feel free to clafiry.

    I assume you quoted the wrong person there?

    So spoon fed you mean?

    A quick skim of the document found the data easily without searching.
  • Slightly amused by this thread. Sky are hardly the first mobile company to offer unlimited calls. Unlimited calls have been around for a while.
