Someone told me this but I couldn't get it to work. Theres a hidden menu to add digits to your phone prefix for hotels etc where you need to dial 9 to ring out. If you add any 3 digit prefix your box will ring out but sky won't know its you. I've been told it works on old boxes only. Mines 3 years old and it doesn't work so I think its bullshit.
