Phoned to complain no incoming calls and then they&nbsp; informed of change . Asked to be put through to cancellations was advised by the helpline person"Chandan" that he would put me through. Was on line for several minutes then cut off. Will be cancelling this tomorrow. If no compensation offer from Sky will be going to ombudsman. They can deal with it better than I.&nbsp; Also they charge companies like Sky&nbsp; £455 for every complaint they investigate.</P> Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:43:50 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Talk/disgraceful-service/m-p/5361726#M101029 skyneveragain 2026-09-02T19:43:50Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Talk/disgraceful-service/m-p/5361735#M101030 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4773234">@skyneveragain</a>&nbsp;Sky can't always keep your number when you switch from another provider, even if you ask them to.
