Any offers on SKY+ atm??

[Suited_Jock]

Does anyone know??

Sick of missing stuff and want to upgrade.. im out of any contract with sky and was wondering if anyone has any idea the best offer I can get? If anyone has done it recently let me know.

I'm contemplating phoning up to cancel to see if they will offer me it on the cheap.. dont want it to backfire though.

    At least you copped it before Baldie pointed it out

Red any chance you could advise me on how to 'cancel'

[RED-DOG]

Ring em up, listen to all the options and only select the "If you want to cancel your subscription" one.

Be convincing. Don't say "I think I want to cancel" or "I want x & y or I will cancel" Just say "I WANT TO CANCEL"

Let them persuade you to stay.

If they call your bluff, fire another bullet. say "Thank you, when will I receive my final bill?"

I guess i can always change my mind or just re-order it under the wifes name if it all goes tango uniform..

Will try it tomorrow and report back.

I am also desperate to get sky plus and this has given me an idea!!

Doing some research at the mo, and Virgin are offering a similar package to what i have BUT with their version of sky plus! only prob is that they charge a £150 installation fee - so going to pretend that has been discounted or waivered because I'm a sky customer!

so next step is to call sky and feed them the story, I'll let you know how i get on!

[Suited_Jock]

Err maybe I was too firm.. they closing my account.

Conversation went like this...

1.2million menu's to navigate..

Hi your through to x how can i help?

I'd like to cancel my account please..

Ok whats your address sky no etc etc

Can i ask why you want to cancel Mr Milne?

Feel theres nothing on when im in and im always missing stuff probably gonna go back to freeview as its alot of money not to be watching much.

Ok no problem mr milne thats that done now

So when will my final bill be through?

Will be through on the 5th may

Did they ask whether you were from blonde?

I reckon they are getting fed up with us calling them

nah they didnt..

Err so anyone any advice on what to do now let the contract run out and reapply OR phone up and say i dont really want to cancel..

Can you not get it set up in the missus' name like you mentioned earlier?  What are their 'rules' on people who've cancelled reapplying?  I'm sure they'd be happy for the business.


There is a moral to the story though.  They didn't buy the continuation bet, and firing the second bullet on the turn didn't seem to work either.  Don't try and bluff a calling station (call centre).
