  • Looks like Sky have plugged the loophole now, as when you press option 1 you are now directed to dial 0870 ......

    Yes I've tried them all this morning and they have stopped it. I have a complaint about them overcharging me and I'm really angry about having to pay for thier mistakes by having to ring the 0870 number so I've tried the email address thats on the letter they sent me about my monthly charge but I rem from past experience with this its really difficult to get them to deal with things over email, they either ignore completely or tell you to call the 0870 number. But not only that it's made worse when you call the 0870 number by the holding on you have to do, then you get passed from pillar to post and its just costing more and often I've had to ring back or I'm given other 0870 numbers for different departments

    This kind of scam has been going on way too long
    Thanx

    It was only a matter of time.

    Sky were probably none the wiser, it will have been the Disney Channel probably noticed the increase in their call bills because Disney Channel will have had to pay for the freephone call (generally 3/4p) and then of course the cost of the 0870 number when transferred to Sky as I it's unlikely Sky will have provided Disney Channel with a geographical number.
