Take out Sky at new address as new customer
We have been with Sky for many years and I have just cancelled it as we are out of contract and moving house. When I assess the broadband and TV options for the new house, is there anything stopping me from including Sky in the mix - my logic is that if I sign up in my name (the old contract was in OH name), at the new…

077 phone number charging?
Got a missed call from 07781553321 to me that looks like a normal mobile number. I know 0777 numbers are chargeable so was surprised to be charged for calling this back.

18185 services
Haven't used the service for a long time so decided to cancel subscription. Expected to receive a final invoice (last time I looked I think I'd used ~ £2 of calls) but the account reads zero! Anyone else still using it noticed a zero balance ? Last invoice I paid was nearly 2 years ago.

VM put a router in for the latter some time ago, and that's all it's for. She doesn't understand nor want broadband and I…

Sky stream and U.
There is a good offer for sky stream (I’m currently with virgin). I’m a little confused with a particular thing… I know that they don’t actually record as such, my virgin box records and then I watch it from my list and I can fast forward through the adverts. I have added the advert skipping to the package with sky. I…

Calling toll-free numbers in US
A search found that Viber does not charge to call 1-800 numbers in the States, but that call quality is usually poor if it is not a Viber to Viber call. Would whatsApp have a similar facility, or if not, are there any other apps to do this?
