If not -
If you already have a Sky Talk landline or a Sky Mobile ring Sky for free by just dialling 150. Otherwise you can use this link:
https://www.sky.com/help/home
UK: Scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides an 0333 number.
ROI: change the flag in the very bottom corner of the same link to the ROI flag then scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides an 0818 number.
(The Community filters don’t allow us to type the numbers in full).
Apparently the lines are sometimes quieter just after 7am or about 9pm so it may be worth trying then (times vary in the ROI). Stay on the line and don’t hang up if you’re prompted to.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreFrom the other thread you've added too, you are restricted. Stopping your direct debit won't work, in fact it’s the worst thing you could do. You will just incur fees for non/late payment, potentially get a bad credit score and have debt collectors at your door.

Not sure what you are talking about ...I am not restricted in anyway .... nor in debt ..... i need to speak to a customer service advisor and all the phones are answered by a robot, yes, including the one starting 333 .......I just can't get past the robot and they end up saying goodbye and I get cut off ...... .

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more...but did propose to cancel DD.
You can ignore our advice if you wish but it will not make them contact you and will make it harder to contact (as well as incurring charges etc)
What are you trying to discuss with them?

Calls to all customer service centres are handled by an automated triaging process. But there are numerous posts here from customers who have been able to negotiate it successfully. Telling us that the robot just ends up saying goodbye doesn't tell us enough to be able to advise you. If the robot wants to send a link to your mobile, let it. But don't hang up - just wait on the line.
