I has Sky installed about 6 years ago. An extra telephone jack was created for the sky box as per usual. It was working fine until I put a telephone through the same jack and since then I can no longer do things like online ordering of Sky Box Office.
sky may have disconnected it because it was no longer in use , i did the same thing as you i used mine for other things and was told by sky since i was no longer using it they had turned it off.
It is just a normal phone jack usually T'ed off from the telephone wire somewhere. Try another phone first, if that doesn't work unscrew it as a wire has possibly come off.
The telephone jack is also used to 'phone home' to upload data. I don't think Sky admit this though. One of the technicians at my work found out when we were tracking calls made from a campus house. For some reason it kept calling this number at regular times.

It is an 0800 number. It shows up on the call logs of my VFX service. People with a standard Telecom line would be unaware that this was happening.
Outgoing calls are usually made in the wee small hours of the morning, around 3am IIRC. Our MySky unit has been doing this once or twice per month ever since we got it installed.
