Ive had sky for about 10 yrs and never had an offer for anything but am also too chicken to ring up and ask, but I took the plunge and said what other people had said about the answerphone message, they just asked when was the message left and I just said Monday and the lovely lady said she could see the offer and set it up right away.
Thankyou to the OP for the thread and thanks to all the lovely posters for giving the tips on how to do it.0 -
Thanks for the responses princesswoo and lawlorlane.
I cancelled today, so it officially ends in 31 days.
I just did a dummy run in my partners name and it only gives me installation options for next week...so my old contract will still be live.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

this happened to me when i recently ordered. i was only given an option of tues to weds over the following 2 weeks. i clicked back a page or 2 tho, to check something. when i went forward again it came up with dates for just about every day for the next 6 weeks! this happened on a dummy run and the actual order. don't know if it's because they want to fill up imminent slots or it was a glitch etc. but play around and see if the same happens.
your partner could also just book a date, then call them to rearrange it for the actual date you want (have your change of personal circumstances story ready in case they notice and ask about the live contract you have at the address). i don't know of anyone having trouble rearranging an install date.0 -
I called yesterday and said that they had left an answer machine message offereing Free HD, free installation and 12 months free subscription however before I went ahead I wanted to check there were no catches as on the website it says to get free HD you have to have multi room too. The lady said no there were no catches and arranged someone to come and install the new box next Wednesday. She didnt check with any managers or ask who called or for a reference number, she was lovely. Although I do have my phone and broadband on Unlimited and all the movies and sports too so I have quite a high package and have been with them for over 6 years, not sure if it makes a difference what package you have with them.0

after 11 months, cancel hd part (giving the 31 days notice to end 12 month contract) and you will continue paying your normal sub.0 -
I just called (we have a £21 basic package with no movies) and said my HUBBy took a call from them the other night offering this deal and he wanted me to call back today as he doesn't deal with "housey" stuff etc. and I wanted to make sure no catches...
Lady said no catches, just cancel after 12 months if not required. She also said that random customers were being called with this deal and we were just fortunate to be be one of them!
Coming next Wed to install :T
THANK YOU
p.s. she did ask me to tell her exactly what we were offeredOwned by a Great Dane :heartsmil
