Sky Mobile TV promo code - paying for it!

olik · 12-02-2010, 03:11

Hi,

I am from Germany and can't text to 2020 to get the promo code. Is anyone willing to send the text message for me? I would pay maybe 5£ or so if you want... Just trying to find out whether I can use it in Germany!

Thanks and best regards!

If you had the promo code you would not be able to watch video on the sky app

Ever heard of VPN?

Paid for it now and absolutely satisfied! Watching Premier League while on the train is just plain perfect.

How is connecting via VPN going to avoid roaming charges?

Use a vpn whilst connected to wi-fi would avoid the charges
