    goin to cancel sky,then as a new customer (in a couple of months...) how can get sky+ cheapest ? pref without multi room etc

    prob should not admit this.. but somewhere earlier in this thread this was mentioned this.. and worked for us..

    Better half phoned sky and siad I had left her.. and stomed off with the sky box.. what options did she have to get the kids their sky back... staright away offered £99 inc instalation.. (no multi room)... sold old box on e-bay... in total Sky + cost us £57... and a very embaressed wife...

    BTW documentation from SKY for subscription came through in my name.. not hers?????
    The only place where success comes before work is the dictionary…
  • Hello Everyone, :)

                      We have the £19.50 package and I was wondering wether sky would up grade us to the sports channels for free for a month to "try it" anyone any ideas? ???
                      Oh I admit it QPR play stoke tonight and I would love to watch  the game!!! although I am thinking about upgrading anyway but I hope to get some free footy for a month, :-[

                  Hope someone has an idea, ;D

                      [move]Regards Sir Stanley

    I've been with sky less than 12 months, will I be able to call up and ask for a discount ?

    I am interested in getting sky +
    so far they have said it would be £199 for the box then £60 installation or £149 for the box then £10 a month for sky multiroom and I'd have to stay subscribed for 12 months on the multiroom. I don't really need sky multiroom as I live alone.

    My friend is signing up to sky as a new customer this month and he's getting a sky + box, a sky box and installation for £99 !

    Any ideas anyone ?

    Almond, becareful though how do you pay ???. If you are to do it in your maiden name, is your payment going to come out of bank account that is in your married name. :-* As they are going to spot this don't you think ;) Its just a idea for you to think about. :)

    Hope you find this helpful. Pat. :)

    hi

    you might have to wait till your 12 months are up because at the moment they know they don't have to offer anything for the obvious reason.
    Honesty is the best policy doesn't matter which web site
    you are on!

    if i had known then what i know now!

    a bargain is only a bargain if you really need it!

    Been looking to trim our outgoings due to overspending at xmas, so decided one way was to ditch Sky. I have been reading this post and did wonder if they would offer me anything when I called to cancel.

    We have sky + and multiroom, and are with Sky talk, over £50 per month, but there was no offer of a half price subscription. They seemed happy to cancel both my Sky and my Sky Talk. They half heartedly tried to get me down to the £13.50 per month package, but no real hard sell on their part.

    I think it could be due to the fact that I have been with Sky since '99 and they probably think I will go back once I am flush again. Ah well, bye Rupert!

    Cheers
