Hi Trace,
If you don't get the confirmation message, you don't know it is being
recorded. Just like Email, some texts don't get delivered or go astray.
All the best

The way I see it, there's actually no need for the confirmation text, its
just a way of Sky making money, don't think they can claim the funds from a
pay as you go phone the same way they can a contract.
Rip off is what I call it and wouldn't use it.
