I have a new freeview fron sky card married to my pace 2600 reciever and was wondering if by phoning sky from my uk mobile i could add some subscription packages and pay via my uk credit card.
TIA Dave

as far as i am aware, a freesatfromsky card can be upgraded to receiver a sky package.
you will need to have the details for the sky card (name of the card holder and uk address for the card)
some uk mobiles calling from spain show up at sky as an international call, so be careful.

Thanks for your reply, do you know what flavour of uk mobile phone is safe to use.

unfortunatley i do not.
i do know that sky uypgraded their phone sytsems to hel them trace non uk calls, and they can even trace skype and voip pc calls. and have trained their operators to asks questions which may catch you out (ie whats the weather like, when they know the UK is having one of their rare rainy days!)
best to get a friend in the uk to do it for you - you'll have to give them the details of your sky box (services 4 5) and sky card and bank details though....
