Geographical number for 'cancelling' your Sky package?

As we are cutting back, I'm going to try and bluff my way into getting a reduced sub on my Sky package. It's a 0870 number and they keep you waiting ages (just tried it) so wondered if anyone knew a geographical number to ring for cancelling Sky (I get those free with my phone package). TIA!
I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!

    Thanks kar, but I've tried that site (I remembered it from way back) and phoned reception number and she just gave me the 0870 number to ring, wouldn't put me through!


    Edit: got it! 01506-484000 is main reception and the nice lady put me through to CS no problems.

    Excellent - it is a local number for me - it is about 5 miles from me :)

    thank you

    There is a direct geo number for sky on sayno, it is down the end of the list though, it puts you straight into the same menu as dialing the 0870 number.

    Cheers, Des.

    I 'cancelled' my subscription a while back.

    Sky offered me 3 months at half price.

    This expired last weekend - they called me - I said "think I'll cancel now".

    They then offered my 40% discount for the next 2 months - and said they would give me another call in May.....

    HTH

    PS Also did a similar thing with Blueyonder - got a 6-month rebate!
