Cost of calling Sky
I said on another forum that calling (from a BT landline) Sky is 8p inc VAT per min during the day as it' s 0870. ( I think it's actually a fraction under 8p).
Someone else has said it's 6p and that's including VAT. I'm sure I read on here it's 8p. I go to the BT website and am more confused after reading it. Can I have a definitive answer ???? Thanks. |

I'm not sure, but I think sky now have an 0844/0845 number. I can never remember it though, because I have the old 0870 stuck in my head.

BT reduced its charges for calling 0845 and 0870 numbers on 1-8-2007 when it also abolished its separate weekend rates for such calls and introduced two-tier (day/night, 7 days a week) charging - see HERE. Sky's charges for calling non-Sky 0845 and 0870 numbers are dramatically higher - see HERE. |

OK thanks I thought Sky still used 0870 when customers phone them.
On that SkyUser link the thread says 0870 .................................. DAY ...... EVE/Night BT*-7p connection + 06p/min.-------1½p/min. Is this excluding VAT cos if it is my 8p per min inc VAT is about right is it not ? |

No, all prices on that link to one of my MSE posts include VAT (I've just amended it to clarify that)

Check this link out - often you can find a geographical or a free (0800) number to call companies on. Perfect! |
