Contact Sky

[ADT27]

Hi. Am i the only one wondering why we all accept that it is so difficult to get a contact number for sky and getting palmed off with this community - which in essence is sky telling us to help each other with answers rather than them sorting out any issues we have with their equipment!?

@ADT27  You can call on 150 from a Sky Talk Line or Sky Mobile.

If you haven't got a current Sky Mobile or Sky Talk this link should help:
(UK) https://www.sky.com/help/home Scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides a 0333 number
(ROI) on the same link change the flag in the very bottom corner to the ROI flag to obtain an 0818 number.

Stay on the line and don’t hang up if prompted to. Apparently the quieter times to ring are just after 7am or about 9pm.

Sometimes it can be quicker via the forum depending on the issue.  Otherwise, stay on the line until they answer...

What's the issue?

Some 'issues we have with their equipment' are well outside the scope of what a script-reader might be expected to cope with: the cumulative experience of forum contributors is really quite formidable by comparison.

Hi all, 

Thanks for the replies. Appreciate the phone number pointed out - i hadn't spotted that, so my bad. As for the other replies, you are correct, it does seem to work better and quicker asking here and the people on the phone are not well placed to answer all questions....which was kind of my point! A bit frustrating to me that they don't take ownership of these issues particularly, and seem to rely on the goodwill of people like yourselves to deal with customers issues. 

Anyway, rant over, the issue i'm having is that we got a new tv (samsung, as was old one) and i've connected and set up. It worked fine. Except now every day i can't get the box off standby unless is disconnect and reconnect the power. Any ideas?

Thanks.
