Great result :j

Bah, I must be sky's most unwanted customer :sad: I gave my 31 days notice on 27th November, no attempt to keep me at all. Sky has been off since December 29 and I haven't heard from them at all :sad:

I must keep repeating my mantra I will not cave in no matter how annoying it is not being able to record/pause!

Has anyone just never heard a word from them again?

Also keep an eye on your phones missed calls.
The win back team have a specific code.
If you attempt to call it back it at least identifies itself as sky.
These guys do not call until you are cut off.
I suspect having chatted to them they try and contact most customers as soon as possible after cut-off.
Reason he gave me was to avoid losing people to other suppliers.


Sorry just realised this was covered.

Cancelled Sky on Christmas Eve, got a call from them today offering 50% reduction for 12 months, plus new 2tb HD box. Great deal and much needed.

Can I ask what package you have please?

Cancelled on the 2nd Jan. Had a phone call today offering me a 25% discount on the entertainment package. Declined this offer, hoping I get another call soon!

You probably wont.
Trend appears to be 1 offer (35% in my latest case) while in notice period.
Then win back team after xxx days of cold turkey.

Don't panic, in my experience they have called back a second time with the 50% discount :beer:

Same here

You need to check your MySky profile. If you've switched off marketing contacts you'll never hear from them again.
