FREE SKy+ and installation + no monthly charge

xstrio

ok i had my sky + installed on thursday, 1st thing he said was our old dish was no good so we got a new one. also installed in about an hour no problems and worked straight away. Box installed was a pace one with 160gb hdd which gives about 40 hours recording time i was told, so very happy

Thanks davilown. Phoned Sky this morning and we are getting Sky+ installed this tuesday. FREE installation, free box and no extra charge a month. :j I phoned 08706080431 but they told me no. is for old customers and gave me number for current customers 08700248973, cancellations dep. I said due to work we miss most of programms we want to watch so thinking of cancelling. First he offered free inst. but £99 for box I said it's too much. Then he offered box for £49 and free inst. but I said it's still too much so he said there is another option, refurbished box for free, free instal. and no extra fee a month. As the box comes with 1yr warranty we decided to go for it. Thanks davilown and everyone also who took time to reply and inform of their result.

Yeah I rang SKY up yesterday and told them I was cancelling to go to freeview with a pvr box, and immediatly they offered me a refurb pvr2 box, 12mth guarantee, free install, no monthly charge (apart from the time i use sky+ between now and next billing date which will result in about £4 subscription and then no subscription from July). Its being installed monday!

Do I keep my current digibox too? Or do I have to ask the engineer if I can keep it?

Oh, and its a 12mth guarantee you get on the refurbs too.

Have just called again and was told (again) that it would cost £159.......
How are people getting the free offers??

Have you spoken to the customer retention team Mocha?

have you tried threatining to cancel.

Advise them that you are a loyal customer and your friend has been given one for free why are you being treated differently regime.

if you do not get any joy at first ask to speak to a team leader or Manager

the direct number for
customer retentions is 08700 248973


hope this helps

Mocha - call sky. go to the sky digital customer services. ask to be transferred to cancellations. Now say that your thinking of cancelling as you are going to get a recordable freeview box, but your friend told you he got a REFURB SKY+ BOX FOR FREE. Say that. Try it now and get back to me.

I had no probs.

We go sky multiroom in October, thus tieing us into another 12 month contract... Is it still possible to try for free sky +?

I just called for the second time , on the 01506831781 number , this time I asked to be put through to cancellations , and then just said wanted to cancel as had just got a freeview tele and was going to get a pvr. Result! Free box,instalation etc coming Wednesday. Thank you all so much for giving me the courage to do it.

mocha are you still under a contract as you will not get the offerif you are,and if not i think the key is not to mention that you know about the offers , just say you think youd like to cancel due to not watching it as much and that things you want to watch are on late or your telly has freeview (i said all of these) it might work for you
