My phone and contract is with Sky Mobile. But there doesn't appear to be any way to contact a sales department. Phone won't work, so not sure what to do? I'll be lost without a phone!

If you email sky, they will call you back

Prontoe · 22/04/2020 15:56

I'm going to cry. This is all too much. I know I know I know it's stupid, but it's just too much for me.

Ring Three you'll get the same phone for so cheap with them.

Do you know which email address because finding any contact details for sales/enquiries is impossible on their website?

'm now not only socially isolating, my family will all think I'm dead.

Oh god and that just made me laugh @Prontoe

Everything is falling apart. People are pulling out their own teeth. Fortunately my car broke down near to my house. Are recovery firms even open at the moment? I’ve no idea.

I hope you manage to sort something out OP. We normally get phones off eBay and then have a SIM only deal. I don’t know if I’d trust eBay right now though 🤷‍♀️

justanotherneighinparadise · 22/04/2020 16:00

Don’t cry! Honestly you can get this sorted.

Prontoe · 22/04/2020 16:00

Fabously there's no number to ring Sky on!!

Sorry justanotherneighinparadise I'm prone to dramatics. But dH only has my mother's number in his phone, nobody else's. So I can WhatsApp her, but nobody else!

Have you tried going through this? It says if the online guides wont help, they will tell us what to do?

That said, if your isolating, can got get to a post office if you need to send it to them?

Prontoe · 22/04/2020 16:04

I've tried the technical faults number or something but you're just left on hold for hours.

Do you have any local Facebook groups set up for covid support? I put a wanted ad on there for a cheap phone so dd could stay in contact with friends
and someone gave me one for free. You could do contact free pick up?

Can you log into your account online? I can check my contract and upgrade my o2 contract online without speaking to anyone.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 22/04/2020 16:21

If you need to speak to friends/family could you put your sim in your husbands phone to send a message with his number to contact you on?

Elisheva · 22/04/2020 16:26

If you go on the Sky website you can check if you are due for an upgrade. Even if you aren’t then you will be able to find out details of your contract etc.
If I were you I would phone to say you want to upgrade and then see if that person can put you through to the right dept.

Starisnotanumber · 22/04/2020 16:40

Have you got sky TV if you have all your details should be on there under my account

TheClitterati · 22/04/2020 16:44

I just dropped something on my stupid glass cooker (tin with tea in it so not that heavy) and now stupid glass stove top is broken. Cracked and chipped. I hope it keeps working for a while as it will be difficult to replace at the moment.

eleflump · 22/04/2020 16:45

Can you search your emails to see if you have an order confirmation from them of what you bought and when?

Prontoe · 22/04/2020 17:05

Both my phone and tv are with Sky. I'll try logging in there.

Starisnotanumber · 22/04/2020 17:14

My account is the last thing on the list options If you go into bills it has info about sky mobile. Hopefully this should help if not then you can look through past bills to see when your contract started

purplecorkheart · 22/04/2020 17:24

Look to see if there is a number for new sign ups, and ask them to transfer you onto someone who can help.

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 22/04/2020 17:27

If you have Sainsbury's near you, Argos stores that are in a Sainsburys are still open as usual.

FlamingoAndJohn · 22/04/2020 17:28

At £12 a month I’m guessing you bought the phone outright. I pay £13 for a SIM only contract.

Prontoe · 22/04/2020 17:33

I've just gone mental and ordered a new phone from Argos lol

I bought my last phone from Amazon. Was here within a day.

keepitupbuttercup · 22/04/2020 18:23

You can still go to the sky mobile site and order a new phone and give you options on contracts and so on. Think delivery time is normally 1-3 days
