Or, perhaps, a bit of forward-planning to boost revenue?
Thinking about it, as unemployment rises, so do daytime calls to their call centres. Time to cash in on that even if the calls are to downsize a subscription package?

Re: Sky Talk Free time Price Increases
All I can say is good job I stayed with BT on option3 (I can't belive I just said that!)
Only got charged for 1 number last month and that was an 0844 number.
Although I can see Sky now moving to 0844 just to tick us BT customers off.

Sky are now on 0844, surely it's only a matter of time before they disconnect the old 087x numbers?
