    Has anyone got the telephone number of the flyer please, I am gonna try me luck and have a go.
  • Just rang Sky on 0870 2407868.
    Offered me "a half price upgrade" when I quoted the code- as I am paying £20ish already that meant the whole package would cost me £30something instead of £41.
    anyone else been told this?
    You know what... you can't beat a good bargain!!!
  • I have phoned sky on the usual number and selected the cancellation option. I told them with xmas coming up I could not really afford to keep up my subscription (I did state I did not wish to cancel but needs must) I was offered the half price deal for 3 months ;D and did not need a promotion code, the lady also told me to calll back in 3 months and if my finances were no better they may extend it for me ;D ;D. Just act sad it seems to work!!
    Nice to save.
  • I have just upgrade from £19.50 per month to £29.98 for full Sky package savin £11 per month will be just great for xmas.

    Cheers for this money saving tip!!!

    I phoned sky tonight using 08702404020 and chloe1705's code of EC19M001 (made out I had received a mailing) and now have skyworld package at £29.98 instead of £41.00 until 9 feb 2005. As I was due to upgade this week anyway this has saved me a bit.

    Thanks for the tip chloe1705.

    When phoning you might want to bear in mind,
    1 Sky broadcasts its best kit @ Christmas
    2 Sky want your business
    3 Sky are not giving these packages out of generosity

    The idea behind these packages is one of the oldest and most successfull marketing concepts, commonly known as puppy dog selling, essentially once you have tried and more importantly tried at the most advantageous time for sky when programming schedules are holding premium quality broadcasts, they are hoping you become hooked an keep the package and generally too stupid to realise they are going to feed you the same stuff for the next three months,

    Ok nothing you didn't already know, but the fact that this promotion comes up now is what gives you leverage as retention at this time of year is at its peak so HAGGLE HAGGLE HAGGLE and get the best deal be cheeky and you will reap rewards, sky know this is their best opportunity of the year and will do all they can to get you on the hook.
    Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.


    Together we can make a difference.
  • hi all, thanx for info, rang sky tonight with reference number and they said its not the half price code, its a code to get sky world for £29.98 not £20.50 :-[
    does anyone have a half price code or has anyone got this offer at half price?
    thanks for the code anyway, chrismas is coming so there may be some good films on. £11 off is better than nothing ;D
  • Great tip chloe 1705, just phoned sky and great its done, told them that recieved the code and its all set till 9th nov,(hope I dont forget to cancel ) I was on the G1 package which was sports + movies 2,4,6,8 at £34 so its saved me £5 as its now £29.90 for the next 3 months and I v`e the works for the xmas period and beyond.

    Once again thanks Chloe 1705. X
