I've been seeing the same number on my phone bill repeatedly. I got in touch with the service provider, and they mentioned that this number is supposedly linked to SKY ACTIVE TV. I've requested my provider to put a block on this number. Fingers crossed it actually does the trick!

This number keeps ringing us, but we can't seem to figure out who it belongs to.

We’ve been caught out as well! It turns out that while the kids were having a blast playing those Sky active games, their grandparents were just keeping an eye on them. We entered into a 12-week agreement with Sky, and after reading suggestions here, we’ve decided to sever the phone line to our Sky box to prevent this from occurring again. We genuinely thought these games didn’t cost anything! With the Sky subscription already being a bit of a stretch for our pockets, it's infuriating how they lured the kids in to press that pesky red button. Lesson learned - steer clear of that!

We’re fairly certain this is linked to Sky as well. If that's the case, then it stands to reason that anyone experiencing problems with the number 09016550003 would have to be a Sky subscriber, wouldn’t you agree? Is that the consensus?

Unplug the phone line from your Sky box and point the finger at those curious souls following your little ones around during the day. Just a heads up, Sky Active isn’t meant to double as babysitting services!

Oh, I’ve encountered the very same problem! We tried contacting our phone provider about it, and they promised to sort it out and block the number. Yet, lo and behold, that pesky 0901 6550003 still appeared on our most recent phone bill! Quite frustrating, isn’t it?

I've just stumbled upon the same number listed on our phone bill... 10... Is there anyone out there who can assist in putting a stop to this outright SCAM?

We've encountered the same number appearing five times on our Sky bill. When we reached out, the representatives had no clue about the owner of the number. Our seven-year-old son had been asking about it after playing games on their interactive platform, which we assumed were complimentary but clearly, we’ve been duped once more!

I spotted this number on my Telewest bill and I can say with absolute certainty that I didn't make those calls. It appears that Telewest-or Virgin, as they're now known-have informed me that these individuals intend to charge £99 if it's confirmed I initiated those calls, which is pending their investigation. Much like yourself, I looked up the number and it seems quite likely that my little boy, who's just six, accidentally dialled it whilst engaged with one of those interactive kids' shows, probably on Nickelodeon. So, take heed-ensure that you keep a close eye on what your little ones are up to with the Sky remote!

Absolutely, I’ve been duped by Sky as well; best steer clear of them! It’s baffling when you think about how long it’s taking for Sky to process refunds for the ring expenses. They never mentioned any costs apart from those so-called complimentary games, which makes it all the more frustrating!

We've fallen victim to a scam as well, not as severe, but still £16 at 60p a go without any warning before being billed seems quite dodgy to us. We suspect it's rather underhanded behaviour. I’ll be reaching out to Sky to air our grievances too - let’s see how it unfolds!

We always thought that certain games the kids enjoyed were complimentary. Apparently, that’s not the case! We've observed the charges appearing consistently on our bills, but it’s only just hit us that we’re actually shelling out money for something we assumed was free. How frustrating!

I’ve had a similar experience myself! My little one, who’s just five, has been accidentally diving into games for the last few weeks, and it’s racked up a bill of £109.70! It really feels like Sky is taking advantage of parents with young kids. Have you raised this issue with them?

It appears that this is linked to Sky Active. My kids have been enjoying the games available on it, but I’ve realised that it incurs charges every time they access it. Such a nuisance! 😟

We've noticed that the number 0901 6550003 has been showing up repeatedly on our phone bill as a fixed charge. The odd thing is, we can't recall ever making a call to that number, especially not at such early hours like 7am. We've reached out to our phone provider, and they're looking into it for us. It's peculiar, because when we try to dial that number, all we get is a fax machine tone!

PREMIUM NUMBER ALERT: - 09016550003. It seems my little one, just four years old, has managed to rack up a staggering 61 calls totalling 26 minutes and 2 seconds - a neat £35.80! Then, astonishingly, there were another 45 calls that garnered a whopping £72.95. It's quite bewildering! I can’t blame the child; the fault lies squarely with me. I've gone ahead and tightened the parental controls on Sky, ensuring a password is now a must for accessing our phone bill. Is there not something dodgy about this whole situation?

Absolutely! Our little one, who’s just four, has had access to this service as well. It feels like Sky is at it again, pulling a fast one on folks. There ought to be a default PIN safeguarding this kind of thing, right? It certainly seems a bit dodgy to me!

I’ve just discovered that this is linked to Sky Active. The youngsters have been inadvertently pressing the red button to dive into those interactive games. Oh dear! Looks like it’s high time we activated the parental controls!

Absolutely! Even our toddler has managed to stumble upon this service again-those sky battle folks can be quite relentless! Honestly, I reckon there ought to be a default PIN code in place to safeguard against such occurrences. It's simply not right, is it?

We raised our concerns with Sky but got nowhere with them. Later on, we reached out to BT, and they were quite accommodating, agreeing to reduce our fees by half and even placed a block on the troublesome number for us. It makes you wonder if other customers voice their complaints more frequently, perhaps major companies like Sky and BT would take these pesky calls more seriously?

We've been noticing the same number appearing on our phone bill. We contacted our service provider, and they mentioned something about it being linked to Active TV. We've requested our provider to put a stop to this number. Fingers crossed it gets sorted soon!

Blimey, we’ve just spotted a bill for £14.40 for a meagre 13 minutes! It’s only just dawned on us that we were hit with this charge. Our little one, who’s only six, knows to stick to the games marked as 'free'. Seems like these folks have a rather loose definition of 'free', if you ask me!
