Hi, thank you for this info.
Can anyone confirm is this number is for current customers, as I would really like to have this, and currently have Sky Digital, so want to know if I can simply call this number and have this installed?
Thanks0 -

Hi,
I am a current customer and I called 01506831781 and said that I wanted to cancel sky due to me "working shifts so missing programs". I was passed through to cancellation and eventually got free sky plus box, free installation and no monthly cost.
Good Luck!

really? Are you a previous subscriber? They gave you the Sky + box and installation for nothing and you pay nothing per month? Sounds like we're missing something here.....0 -
just called the number posted above, and they said that if I cancel my current account, I can call again tomorrow and have Sky+ installed?? That does not really make sense to me, and am sure I heard about being cancelled for couple of months before rejoining?0

Thanks for letting us know about this. I called Sky this morning and they are fitting Sky+ on Wednesday. No installation fee, no charge for the box, and no monthly subscription either.
I had to get them to repeat it a few times before I believed them.0
