Manic Phones

Sky's home telephone service is known as Sky Talk. Available to all Sky Television patrons, it offers good worth line rental and home telephone packages, with free evening and weekend calls as well as keen rates for calls to cell-phones.Sky Talk was first launched in 2006, and there are presently 9.2 million Sky Television buyers in Britain, 1.5 million of which have joined up to Sky Talk.

Sky Talk was voted 'Best Overall Provider' in the home telephone client satisfaction awards last year, after winning 7 out of eleven classes, including 'Best Consumer Service' and 'Most sure to be Commended '.

Because Sky Talk is only available to Sky Television shoppers, it is a part of a bundled package. This suggests if you are already with Sky you might possibly be able to economize by taking your house telephone package with Sky too.

And for far more savings, you might also think about taking your broadband from Sky. You may take your line rental from Sky, mixing it with your calls package, meaning you will only receive one home telephone bill a month. This is cheapert than BT at only £11 a month.The switching process is fast, straightforward and trouble-free. You can keep your present phone number, and the Sky service is delivered down your present BT landline.

But you may not be accepted for Sky Talk if :

* you do not pay for your Sky Television subscription by direct debit or constant card payment mandate
* you're a BT Basic shopper or on a BT light user scheme
* You have outgoing calls barred or any other non compatible product on your telephone line.

Sky Talk calls are made through your present telephone line, instead of through a wire or broadband connection. And the service is turned on remotely, so a technician will not have to trip to install anything.
