Switching mobile provider - Sim Only
I've been with Vodafone for years on SIM only deals, I get the 15% Vantage discount and generally negotiate down their monthly contract price. I renew this every 12 months when the initial fixed period ends. I'm seriously considering switching to Giff Gaff whilst retaining the same mobile number, however I'm a bit confused…

Cancelling Sky TV subscription. Can I ask them to reverse decision if no retention offers made?
Hi Hope I am posting in the correct forum. So basically my Sky bill has jumped from £50 to £90. (I only have TV package) I have been with Sky consistently for 21 years.

Sky pay as you go
I cancelled Sky’s Anytime Extra ( now £120 p.a. ) and was moved to pay as you go, on an 18 month contract ! How does that work ? The same agent wouldn’t let me cancel my tv contract even although I’d offered to pay any penalties. Am I alone with these results ?

Sky price hike
Despite being only 11 months into my 18 month contract I got a letter yesterday to tell me that my Sky bill was going up by 6%. I was under impression with other companies that legally they could only change it by the RPI amount (1.4%) - are Sky bound by the same rules and if so does this mean I can negotiate my contract ?

As a worst case scenario, I…
