Sky plus £49 for existing customers

redroo555

just thought i'd say a big thankyou to you all!:T
after calling sky about 4 times, i managed to get a really lovely lady, who very kindly agreed to me having 2 sky+ boxes for £49 each and free install. yipeeeeeee!!!!:D :j
they offered me them for £148, at first, and i said that i couldn't possibly afford that near xmas, i said that i was going to cancel, but will leave it untill next week when i have had chance to look around at the other deals on offer. Tuesday or wednesday is when the best to ring, as they get their quota of offers assigned to each member of staff.
today the lady said that at 6.30, they will have had a new quota for the weekend, so i guess if you'r phoning on Sunday, best to phone about 7-7.30 ish

good luck to everyone
trese;)

Just a thought

Is the reason they are starting to refuse people free sky+ and calling their bluff because they've been tipped a wink about this thread?

When I was offered Sky+ free, installation wasn't mentioned, has anyone had to pay an installation fee after being offered the box for free?

No, it's to give access to the EPG that gives access to the Sky+ recording facilities. You can still use the box as a normaldi gibox.

errrrrrrrrr call me daft but surely that is a rental fee, if you have to pay £10 per month to use the service!!
I think what they was trying to say that it a bit like pay as you go as in you have no contract with them.

Another thanks here. I was going to buy a box for my mum & dad for xmas and was quoted £149 + 30 installation. After reading this thread I got my dad to call & threaten to cancel. He was offered the box for £49 and quickly accepted. Getting fitted this week - perfect & in time for christmas!!

Just had mine fitted for free

just go for it, tell them you are cancelling because you never get time to watch

they will ask you what programs you like to watch and if you know about sky+ ....I said I know very little about it

they should offer you sky+ for 49 quid (although it appears others haven't had the offer)

say you can't afford to pay anything as money is tight with christmas etc

hopefully they will offer you sky+ free

well bit the bullet sort of chickened again:o phoned customer services and tried to blag £49 said i had been offered it at weekend he said there was no note on computer what department was i speaking to said customer services as far as i know he said there were no offers had i tried to cancel as thats the sort of offer they normally do i said no had just phoned up to enquire about price he said to phone other department the best he could do was £149 . so phoned turnaround spoke to great scottish lady explained previous phone call wait i'll speak to my supervisor came back so if you cant get that offer you'll leave us hummed a bit she told me straight out i need you to tell me you are going to leave before i can go back to supervisor to get an offer ok gave her speel about bt freeview etc came back £49 free install ok not totally free but i am very happy .Also incase any 1 intrested they are doing a deal on their calls the all inclusive normally £5 per month FREE for 12 months thats without taking the broadband hope its useful to someone
many thanks to all or i might not have taken the plunge:D

According to the guy I spoke with on Friday afternoon, I had to accept his offer of free Sky + box plus free installation by midnight that night otherwise I wouldn't get it offered to me again! lol

Well no free Sky plus for me and no special deal on inclusive calls either (I've only been with them for 20 years!) offered the box at £49 but I declined it, so I have cancelled sky now, cut off date 2 January. Shame because I am kind of used to it after an analogue box way back followed by a digital box but such is life.

I was going to transfer broadband and telephone to them as well, now it looks like its Virgin media for me.

hi

i tried yesterday and today, the nearest i got was an offer of sky plus for £99 plus £30 installation, needless to say i said no to that one.

guess it wasn't to be for me!
