Don't Call Sky by 18866
DON’T USE 18866 TO CALL SKY. Those using call18866 (see cheapest home phone calls) shouldn’t use it to call Sky’s customer service centre. The way it works means Sky can see it as an overseas number, and I’ve heard reports of them cutting people off assuming they’re wrongly using it frm abroad. (discuss sky/call18866…

However, sometimes as soon as I dialled I got straight through to the person, and again this happened this afternoon. Just out of curiosity, I checked my account online just now…

Martin's appearance on Watchdog
Liked your bit on the prog last night, Martin, but could you not ask them, next time you're there, why, as a consumer 'watchdog', they insist on only giving out an 0870 number for contact? Surely this helps to perpetrate the 'covert' premium line scam!
