Speech bubble support
Am I the only one who believes this method of support doesn't work?
I keep a regular eye on this forum mainly to check for known errors.
From this I would estimate at least 80% of the 48 hour communication are closed without any contact from the customer.
Why can't we have a dedicated support line to initdirect contact with support staff?

@Raider999The forum staff can only help with a very small set of specific issues, to have a dedicated support line here would require significant resources and staffing, that's not going to happen.

What do you mean by dedicated? There is a support line you can call but having an async chat, while it's got its downsides especially for those who struggle with typing, is less waiting around for the customer and theoretically less cost for Sky

Re: Speech bubble support
As you've probably gathered calls to Sky do tend to direct customers to the forum or self help wherever possible to lessen the call volumes (and subsequently waiting times) to Customer Service agents. I suppose the 150 number is a dedicated line for Mobile and Talk users. As you can tell we escalate as many issues to the Messaging Team as we can providing it's something they can deal with.

Thats down to the customer not engagimg with Sky when it's escalated rather than an issue with what staff here can help with.
