Sky emailed to say they have extended my contract for 12 months without me having to do anything at my current prices.

Any way to make and receive 'home' number calls via the interweb?
Hi all.After TalkTalk has just about doubled my monthly fee for fibre, landline, and calls, I think it may be time to move on - despite having been with them since Tiscali days, some 20 years ago. As we now make very very few landline calls from the house, I'm considering looking at 'fibre + landline' packages only, with…
