Moved to Sky Talk from BT - should 150 still work?

A simple question with hopefully a simple answer. I have moved from BT to Sky Talk (calls AND line rental) and broadband but Sky say that when I dial 150 I shouldn't get a message saying "Thanks for calling BT". BT have confirmed that everything has been moved over, that my account with them is closed and that 150 will always be BT cusomer services. BUT Sky say I shouldn't be getting through to BT on 150. Can someone with Sky Talk confirm what happens when they phone 150 please?

Thanks!

    Yes it is correct that the 0844 number to SKY is free after 6pm and it is also free at weekends too
    but as you say it is only free for Sky Talk customers.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I've just switched to Sky Talk, just dailled 150 and got "welcome to sky........."

    Incidentally I was told by Sky customer services that calls to sky ie on the 08442 41 41 41 number are free after 6pm if you're on Sky Talk, can anyone verify this or have they spouted more BS as usual?

    Why on earth am I getting "thanks for calling BT" when both BT and Sky insist I'm with Sky?! Okay, another question for Sky Talk users...

    Does 18185 or 18866 work for you? I was given the impression by people on here and other forums that they wouldn't work. They still do for me so I'd be interested to hear from others.

    Thanks.

    Even if they did work at the moment, Sky is moving its line rental customers to full LLU over time which means that the only access that will work will be the 0800 number access.
