I’m with Sky and noticed I was billed way too much for some calls. I’ll have a proper look into it when I’m back at work. By the way, customers can ring the landline on 03442414141.

I thought the number they gave me was legit so I rang them up, the bloke was really friendly and seemed nice to chat to. Turns out it was a total scam though, they just keep you on the line yapping so your phone bill shoots up. I ended up with a £7.51 charge for only 14 minutes of calling. Honestly, avoid calling them and try the online chat instead!

So, my 02 phone shows a call made to this number on 11th January 2019, lasting over 26 minutes and adding £13.49 to my bill. Weirdly enough, I can't see that call on my iPhone’s call history at all. I’m totally baffled since I don't remember calling Sky last Friday or anytime recently. I just rang the number back now and it definitely seems to be Sky. Need to look into this further. It's strange that such a long call wouldn't appear in my call records if it actually happened.

Absolutely rubbish experience. I called them and ended up waiting on hold for about 10 mins. Now I just checked my bill and it’s way higher than usual - they charged me £6.83 just for telling them I don’t want Sky Movies. I’m definitely contacting them about this, it’s shocking!

I rang this number to chat about a Sky package, completely unaware that the call would end up costing me £16 for just 22 minutes. Since they were trying to get me to sign up as a customer, it baffles me why they’d charge such an extortionate fee. The government really ought to have a proper look into how telecoms firms operate around here - it feels like borderline fraud to me. Everyone should contact their MP or MSP and raise the issue!

I got a message supposedly from British Gas saying they were partnering with Sky for some brilliant Sky Broadband deal. I clicked the link but ran into a problem online so I had to ring this number to sort things out. After being on hold for ages, about 15 minutes, they finally said I didn’t qualify for the offer. Now I find out it’s charged me £7.77 just for that call! What a joke.

Just received my phone bill and it was twice the usual amount at £60. Upon looking through the calls, I noticed it was mainly because of one call to Sky on 08442411818. I rang up to inquire about signing up and ended up with this ridiculous bill I had no idea about and definitely didn't expect. It's awful they charge such crazy rates to people thinking about becoming customers - really not on. Avoid calling Sky on that number unless you want to get hit with a rip-off charge. Proper shame on Sky for this.

Never pick up calls from this number! It shows up as a SKY number but actually connects you to Vietnam. They keep you on the line for ages, like 15 to 30 minutes, charging you a pound per minute. Luckily, Vodafone refunded me since I hadn’t been billed yet, so if you did answer, ring your phone company quick to avoid charges.

Mate, you gotta understand this mix-up is on you, not Sky. You looked up a phone number online to ring them but didn’t bother checking the call costs on that site where you found it. That number belongs to some other company, so even if you do get Sky when you call, the company that owns the number charges you for the call. If you really wanna get hold of a company, best thing is to use a bit of common sense and head straight to their official website and check their "contact us" page to find the right phone numbers. Don’t just google a random number and then blame the company you tried to call.

Honestly, this mix-up isn’t Sky’s fault at all. You looked up the number on some site without checking what the call costs there. That number belongs to a different company, so even though the call gets you to Sky, the owners of the number are the ones taking the fees. Next time you want to contact a firm, use your brains and head straight to their official website, then find their “contact us” page.

I’m wondering if Sky earns a commission from this number or something. I was stuck on hold for ages, not once but three separate times, and it’s ended up costing me £27.

I had to call this number a couple of times to fix an issue, and it ended up costing me over £20 because they kept leaving me on hold and never actually resolving anything. My Sky bill is only £20 each month, yet I got charged nearly that for just two calls - it's absolutely ridiculous. Surely they should warn you about these charges upfront, especially since they make loads of money anyway. They could at least offer a callback option. I want to try and get a refund but I'm worried about being charged again if I ring back. And I can’t even try live chat because apparently there’s a fee for that too, just like calling. Does anyone know how I can claim my money back without getting stung again?

Got a charge of £4.137 plus VAT totalling £5.81 from this number, but I never dialled it. On 22/04/16 at 23:56, I actually called my Sky number, so not sure why this happened.

I was on the blower with these folks for a staggering 22 minutes and 48 seconds. Keep an eye on your watch! After that, we reached out to Sky to voice our grievances. Honestly, my recommendation would be to just switch to Virgin!

I saw this number listed on my BT phone bill and I never actually called it, but they still charged me 89p.

Cheers for that! You're spot on; I can recall giving Sky's help line a ring.

This number belongs to Sky and seems to be aimed at new customers. What’s odd is they apparently add charges for online chat messages with their support team. I never dialled this number myself! I ended up calling them to request a block on it.
