if you ring sky up just ask them for the sky/internet/skytalk package.
this is the same price, as the internet and skytalk are free. you can also
pay sky your line rental so cutting off bt altogether, this is about £1 cheaper per month than BT. Sky will organise the transfer for you, it may take 4 to 6 weeks but you dont have to do a thing.

It will cost you a local call price to ring sky but once you are a skytalk customer calls to sky are free.

good luck:j

Thanks for the advice I will get onto it asap!

How do you have a ncb if you haven't passed the test yet? Can you have this from being a provisional driver?

No I said I have "no NCB", I don't think you can get them as a provisional driver but I would have to check that.

Theres an NCB loophole. Not sure if it was because I was positively geriatric when I learnt to drive (27) or because I was married or both but I took out a fully comp. policy in my own name with Direct Line as a provisional licence holder on my first car, a clapped out Astra which I used to practivce in as OH wouldn't let me anywhere near his car. Direct Line "mirrored" (their terms) OHs no claims bonus and applied it to me (he was also a named driver) giving me 5 years no claims, every renewal since then has added another year and so I now have 5 years driving experience and 10 years protected NCB.

Would be worth making the phonecall to see if they would still do this. It may be that your partner would need to be a Direct Line policy holder to do it, but still worth finding out.

Really? I will have to check that out too

Damita

Well it looks like OH is going to have to take a pay cut, there isn't that many jobs out there at the mo and he is really depressed in his job

I'm still trying to drop my Sunday shift and take up an other shift in the week to replace it.. but they are being pain in my !!!!!! about it... urgh!

Oooh and looks like we will be doing the sky telephone gonna call them on Tuesday after uni
