    at last! thanks!
  • Has anyone else been charged for film four?? I've been billed for the 'free' month and when I phone up to query it they said it had happened because you pay Sky a month in advance? They said once I cancel it it will be refunded to me next month. I tried to cancel but was told I have to phone back on 13th, exactly one month. How ridiculous! More trouble than it was worth!! :mad:

    I had exactly the same thing happen to me :mad: I said that the ad said try film four "absolutely free", and that being charged then refunded is not getting it absolutely free. I made a bit of fuss about it, and got given a £7 credit on my account as a goodwill gesture :rolleyes: I was also told I had to phone up exactly 30 days from when I got the offer started.

    I phoned up on the 30 days, and had some little p**** keep telling me I had to send it to them in writing and they needed seven days notice to cancel :confused: I read the offer out of the magazine to him, and said how bad I thought it was that no one there seemed to know what they were doing - he hung up on me! :mad: Anyway, eventually got it sorted, but have to agree it was more trouble than it was worth! :o

    Sky Customers being offered 1 month free for Film Four. Call 0800 038 5444. Don't forget to cancel in 1 month or you will be charged subscription.

    Official Insert:

    Use the offer code from the Sky magazine to get the free month's trial is FC50 X001 :)

    I've just tried this number and been given several other numbers to ring dependent on my subscription level. I didn't get a chance to quote the code.

    I'm an NTL subscriber and was going to ask if I can get free film 4 so does anyone know if it's possible without me ringing NTL which can be a nightmare?

    Have a look through your freesat channels. There's a notice displayed on the channel that filmfour will air on - on freeview it was the old more4 + 1, maybe try there first?!;)

    If you can't find the notice, have a go at automatically rescanning your channels again (but think you'll find it before you need to do this). Happy hunting!:grin:
