Davie, are these codes going to work? As mentioned on the previous page, the codes haven’t been working.

Unless these are the ‘new codes’ that now work? 1/2 price will probably blow my deal out the water, looking online my deal doesn’t seem that good actually...

£20 for 2 mobiles

Thinking of going to them for Broadband as well.
Has anyone had any good deals? Want to know what to aim for.

I feel like I’ve been had. Strangely when I got called back, she said it was never £39 for all that, but £49 including the Netflix (so £6 more a month than before), then they couldn’t do £40 credit only £20. But she told me to use the referral to get the £100, which I’ve done. But I don’t feel I’m getting a deal at all. The £100 I’d get regardless from a referral and online it’s £49 with £20 fee. So I save the upfront only.

So, If Davies code works, I’d be loads better off with that.

Called Sky a couple of weeks ago, Was paying £130 per month for the full Sky Q with an extra box plus broadband.
Within 2 minutes of saying we were going o move to BT, the price reduced to £73 per month with a higher speed internet included.

The person at Sky I spoke to said any deal available to new customers would also be available to existing customers, just need to quote where you've seen it.

There are currently no codes as the base sky package has changed. There should be more available by the end of the week I’ve been told.

It’s all gone to pot! Tried using my code on the phone and been told the packages changed yesterday. All codes will no longer be valid and new ones will be needed. I was told they weren’t working earlier in the week either.

So, the lady I was speaking with was ‘trying to get me a deal’, this was the offer

Signature package
Entertainment
Box sets
All sports
All HD channels
2 Sky Go
1TB sky Q
£40 credit
£39 month
Option for Netflix (2 streams) £4/month

When I looked before with the code David provided, it was more than this. And I’m awaiting A call for a better offer. We shall see. But I can’t test the code on the new packages.

You have to get them to play with the packages, they offer just the F1 sports channel, but if you add all sports, it’s cheaper due to the discount.

Thanks for the code David. Seems I’ve picked the wrong time to sign up, but the F1 starts soon!

This has been a bit of a rollercoaster!

The lady called me back after this deal. Turns out, it was £49 including Netflix, she ‘was wrong’ before. I wasn’t that happy but went with it as I wanted it ASAP. Thought nothing more.

I got a call today, bloke from sky saying I’ve left stuff in my basket, do I want to go ahead? I strung him along and he’s basically offered me all the above but for £29(!) a month. I explain I actually did sign up, can he price match it to my account? He can’t but someone else can.

When I speak with them, I am told they cannot. I throw my toys out of my pram a little and say I’ll leave then, straight through to retentions!

I explain and the beltin’ geordie lad says he’ll honour the price I was told on the phone. He’ll even through cinema on for £6 (usually £19). I keep my install date and the £100 referral fee I got from a friendly PH’er on this thread.

So, £35/month gets me:
Signature package
Sky Cinema
Entertainment
Box sets
2x Netflix
All sports
All HD channels
2x Sky Go
1TB sky Q
FREE install

I’ve got

Multi room
sky q box uhd
All channels
All sport
All movies
Box sets
Fastest broadband
Phone line

The cheapest they would bring it down to is £90.

I’ve cancelled and waiting to see if they call me back. No call back so far.

Your deal seems pretty good but it’s missing the uhd for me. Good work though.

Presumably the internet is separate extra to that?

Did you just call and say your a new customer what can they do?

I can’t get internet via Sky, so yes, this is just TV.

I explained how I got that price above. I am a new customer who went through to retentions!

Apologies for those I’ve said to message. Like MissChief said the codes are not available until packages are adjusted.

Hi all. Some fresh deals.

As we enter a period where we will be stuck at home for an indefinite period of time, there are some offers here for those who want to join Sky (TV &/or Broadband) or move to Sky Mobile.

Existing customers will have been told that they can pause their Sky Sports subscription for free, they have Sky Go extra added onto their account for free, unlimited calls 24/7 if they have Sky Talk and an extra 10gb data in their Sky Mobile piggybank.

I expect theres a lot of people having the sports switched off at the moment.
So what is taken by one hand is going out of the other.
