Reports on phone number 08442411818
7 yearsAs an employee at Sky, I've found myself facing rather steep charges for just a handful of phone calls. I plan to look into this matter more closely the next time I'm at the office. In the meantime, customers can reach out via the landline number 03442414141 if they need assistance.Sky7 yearsI 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!7 yearsI got a number from Sky online and called it, ended up costing me £14 for just 26 minutes. Felt like a total scam. Absolute rip-offs!7 yearsI rang Sky because their prices shot up in the middle of my contract - like £30 for mobile now, ridiculous! Honestly, avoid calling this number at all costs.Sky7 yearsI rang Sky after our package was cancelled, but they still charged me £19 for the call.Sky7 yearsI just got charged £33 on my phone bill from Sky, no idea why.Sky7 yearsI rang Sky to switch up my package and the change got sorted, so I was quite pleased. But then the bill came through and I was charged £18.03 just for the call, even though I don’t use their mobile service at all. Bit annoying!Sky7 yearsI rang Sky to sort out an upgrade and ended up paying £26 for just 50 mins. Proper rip-off that was.Sky8 yearsSo I got a call from SKY tryin to sign me up as a new customer. Had to wait about 20 mins just to get through and then spent another 5 mins chatting with them. Ended up costin me £19.51, can you believe that?! Proper frustrating! 🤬🤬Sky8 yearsIt seems that I dialled this number on the 11th of January 2019 using my 02 mobile, and the call lasted a hefty 26 minutes and 7 seconds, resulting in an unexpected £13.49 added to my bill. Quite perplexingly, I can’t seem to locate this call in my iPhone's logs, which leaves me scratching my head, as I have no memory of reaching out to Sky last Friday. I just tried calling it again, and it's definitely Sky on the other end. Time to do some sleuthing, I suppose. It’s rather odd that a call of such duration hasn’t made it onto my records, assuming I did indeed place it.Sky8 yearsI reached out to Sky to take them up on their offer after receiving an avalanche of letters persuading me to return. To my astonishment, I found an extra charge of around £30 on my mobile bill just for making that call. Absolutely outrageous! What a rip-off, Sky!Sky8 yearsSpent half an hour on the phone and it cost me £6.81 - just ridiculous!Blimey8 yearsI was stuck on hold with Sky for ages, no one really helped me out. Think I’m gonna switch to a different provider now because of this phone bill mess.Sky8 yearsGot a call from Sky on my landline, number 08442411818, lasted about 23 minutes and ended up costing me £5.17.Sky8 yearsAbsolutely 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!Sky Movies8 yearsI 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!Sky8 yearsI was hit with a £34 bill after ringing this number about facilitating my Sky TV relocation. When I reached out to Sky for assistance, they informed me that it’s a fraudulent number and I wouldn’t be getting any money back. Absolutely appalling!Sky TVSky8 yearsI received a text earlier from British Gas mentioning a collaboration with Sky to present an enticing offer on their Broadband service. I followed the link provided, but then encountered some technical hiccups that led me to ring a specified number to confirm my details. After being kept on hold for what felt like an eternity-about 15 minutes-I was informed that I didn’t qualify for the deal after all. To add insult to injury, it turns out that call cost me £7.77 just for the trouble!British GasSky8 yearsAbsolute rip-off! I spent a staggering 41 minutes on the phone and was slapped with a bill of nearly £30. What a complete con!8 yearsBe wary of this number for Sky, as it charges a premium rate - definitely one to avoid!Sky8 yearsTotally ridiculous experience! Rang SKY on the number they gave me to let them know I was cancelling. They kept me on hold forever and then tried every trick to persuade me to stay. Honestly, I’m so relieved we finally ended that contract! Just looked at my phone bill and they've charged me £17 for a 22-minute call with them. It’s absolutely shocking. Would seriously recommend steering clear of that number.NUMBER8 yearsI noticed my Sky bill had gone up a lot, so I rang them to sort things out. But then my phone bill turned up and I was shocked to see I’d been charged more than £13 just for that single call to Sky. Make sure you double check the number before you ring them!Sky8 yearsI’ve noticed a significant spike in my Sky bill, so I decided to ring them up to get it sorted. However, I was rather taken aback when my phone bill rolled in, revealing a hefty charge of over £13 just for that single call to Sky. It’s crucial to verify the number before you dial, trust me on this!Sky8 yearsI'm curious to know where you've sourced that phone number from, as I've reached out to Sky and they've informed me that none of their official documents mention it. Quite baffling, really!Sky8 yearsAbsolutely outrageous! I was hit with a £29 bill just for calling Sky, what a rip-off! There was no indication whatsoever that it would cost me a small fortune to get in touch. It’s simply unacceptable!Sky8 yearsI’ve just received my latest phone bill, and shockingly, it came to £60-double what I typically pay! Upon examining the itemised charges, I discovered that my exorbitant bill was primarily due to a single call to Sky on the number 08442411818. I merely rang to inquire about their services, and I feel completely blindsided by this outrageous expense that I didn’t see coming. It’s downright appalling how they impose such steep rates on potential customers without a hint of prior warning. It's frankly quite distasteful. I’d strongly advise against ringing this number unless you’re prepared to be hit with astronomical fees. Truly disappointing, Sky!Sky8 yearsNever 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.VietnamVodafone8 yearsWhat a total shambles! I was hit with a £14.12 bill just for calling this number, and I don't recall any indication that it was a premium rate line. Is it not standard practice to inform customers beforehand? It's nothing short of outrageous!8 yearsGot my Talkmobile bill today and noticed it's nearly £5 more than usual. Turns out it's Sky calling me and charging extra. Avoid this number - total scam!Sky8 yearsI rang the Sky customer service number using my mobile, not knowing it wasn’t covered by my plan. My Three network didn’t warn me that it would cost, so I ended up with a bill of £20.23 - what a joke! If I'd realised, I could’ve just called from my landline for free since Sky customers aren’t charged for that number. I do have Sky Talk, so that would’ve saved me loads.SkySky Talk8 yearsGot a call about switching to Sky Broadband and Talk, but it ended up costing me £8.75 on my home phone. Ridiculous!Sky BroadbandTalk8 years20 minutes and they charged me £12! Avoid this number at all costs!8 yearsI’ve also been charged! This was merely for seeking information about membership. I can firmly state that I would never consider signing up with them. How shortsighted can they be to assume that individuals will just overlook being taken advantage of? BR<|vq_15642|>BR8 yearsJust spent ages on the phone to Sky using their 0844 number, cost me a fortune on my mobile - nearly £50! Proper annoyed because they make it sound cheap to switch over, but then sneak in these sky-high charges without you realising. Thought I was saving money moving from BT, but I reckon I’ve wasted more than I saved. Really wish I stuck with BT now, it’s a rip-off.SkyBT8 yearsI reached out to inquire about my contract details and was blindsided by a £13.60 fee, completely unaware that this number has a separate charge. Feels like I've been taken for a ride!8 yearsI was guided to this number through the Sky website and, not being aware of any call charges, naturally assumed it would either be at national rates or perhaps free. Imagine my shock when I was billed £10.53 simply for setting up a new contract-what a rip-off!Sky8 yearsI got charged £12 for a 28 minute call from my mobile. Does anyone know if it’s any cheaper or free to call from a landline instead? Seems a bit steep!8 yearsI was slapped with a £6.30 fee for placing an order with them. I'll definitely keep that in mind the next time a sales call comes my way...8 yearsI was hit with a £20 fee for a call that was supposed to sort out the mess caused by their team not handling my setup properly!8 yearsI rang this number thinking I was contacting Sky, but it ended up costing me £15! What a total scam. Shoulda just used my landline instead, so stupid of me.Sky8 yearsI called up to inquire about an upgrade package and ended up being billed £12.10. That’s the last time I’ll be doing that! I’m sticking with Freeview from now on.Freeview8 yearsDespicable individuals engaged in thievery.8 yearsI just forked out £28.31 for a chat with SKY regarding the chance of upgrading my package! Can you believe that? Quite frankly, it feels utterly wrong. It wouldn’t take much for them to point out that it’s a premium rate number with a simple voice prompt. What a cheek!SKY9 yearsI called Sky through the number provided on their website to set up Sky Q. That 15-minute chat ended up costing me £7.95!SkySky Q9 yearsI can’t believe they’ve slapped me with a £20 fee for dialling this number! I wouldn’t have gone near it if I’d had any alternatives. What a bunch of crooks!9 yearsTotal scammers, can’t trust these calls at all.9 yearsI ended up paying £4.80 for an 8-minute chat about a sales query with Sky. Quite disappointing, if I'm honest!Sky9 yearsThis number is associated with premium rate fees. Best to steer clear!9 yearsAvoid ringing this number for SKY services as it incurs additional charges.9 yearsI ended up shelling out 8.02p for a chat with Sky.Sky9 yearsI recently received a call from this number, which is linked to the Sky website. I ended up spending £21 just to schedule a visit from Sky. Honestly, Sky should really take note of this issue and be proactive about addressing it for future customers, rather than adopting a dismissive attitude and thinking, "Well, that's not our problem!"Sky9 yearsI was under the impression this number was complimentary, so I ended up feeling quite cheated when I was charged a tenner!9 yearsI was under the impression this was a complimentary service, but ended up being charged £10. Quite unimpressed!9 yearsI attempted to register for Sky's online services, only to be met with a message stating that online registration isn't an option and I should ring this specific number instead. Just had a look at my latest bill, and it’s come to £5.85. I’m seriously considering backing out during the 14-day cancellation period, as I already feel like I’ve been misled!Sky9 years0844 2411818 - I found this number on the Sky website, but apparently it's not theirs. Sky claims they have no association with it. I've just received a bill totalling £40 after being charged 55p a minute! What a bunch of crooks! I strongly advise against using it!Sky9 yearsI ended up spending £37, would you believe it?9 yearsI've been hit with a £10 charge from this number, supposedly linked to Sky. It's a total con and feels quite underhanded. Surely, the communication ombudsman should step in to put a stop to this money-making scheme that reeks of rip-off tactics.Sky9 yearsI noticed a £15 charge on my recent bill, which piqued my curiosity. After reviewing my call history, it appears I did, in fact, place that call. However, I could have sworn I dialled a 'trustworthy' number. It seems I've been short-changed by Sky, and this has certainly made me think twice about contacting them again down the line.Sky9 yearsHonestly, don't pick up or ring them back! Someone rang me claiming to be from sky, but I ended up being hit with an £18 charge instead!Sky9 yearsExtortionate fees for a phone call!9 yearsI haven't dialled this number at all, yet my mobile bill shows that I did, and I've been charged a whopping £7 for it! What on earth is going on?9 yearsI must point out that the error you've made is actually your responsibility, rather than that of Sky. It seems you've hunted for a contact number online but overlooked the call costs detailed on the website where you found that number. This particular number belongs to a third-party provider; thus, even though your call connects to Sky, the operators who own the number are the ones raking in the charges. If you require a company’s contact number, it would be wise to simply visit their official site and navigate to the "contact us" section. There you’ll find the correct numbers to dial, rather than conducting an online search and subsequently laying blame on the company you reached out to.Sky9 yearsI contacted Sky using the 0333 number to sort out a problem with my package. I ended up being put on hold for ages and shuttled between various departments. Now I’ve just got a bill for £31 on my mobile, which is absolutely outrageous. I’m not pleased at all, and it doesn't seem like there's much I can do to resolve this issue either.Sky9 yearsIt’s quite clear that the error lies with you, rather than Sky. You’ve perhaps looked up a contact number online but overlooked the call costs listed on the very site from which you obtained it. Keep in mind that this number is managed by an external party, meaning that while your call connects to Sky, you'll still incur charges from the number's owner. If you’re seeking to reach a company, it would be wise to use a bit of common sense and check their official website, particularly the "contact us" section, for the appropriate number to dial.Sky9 yearsIs Sky somehow profiting from this number? I was left hanging on hold for what felt like an eternity during three separate calls, and it’s ended up costing me a hefty £27! It would be only right for Sky to inform their customers about this and perhaps consider offering a callback option. I’m utterly dissatisfied and quite disillusioned with my experience as a Sky customer.Sky9 yearsI had no idea I was dialling a premium rate number for Sky. They had me on hold for ages; it felt rather sneaky, to be honest.Sky9 yearsThey billed me £16.24 for just a couple of minutes on the phone. Ridiculous!9 yearsI recently called Sky to set up a subscription, and they've taken £39 from my account for it. At this rate, I'm seriously considering pulling the plug on Sky altogether.Sky9 yearsExpensive fees, best to steer clear.9 yearsThis telephone number belongs to the Sky TV company, and they have the audacity to charge 55 pence per minute. When I raised my concerns with Sky, they insisted it wasn’t their number. However, I know for a fact that I set up my Sky package using that very number, and now I’ve been hit with a bill of £17.70 for that call! Quite infuriating, really.Sky TVSky9 yearsAvoid calling this so-called Sky line! I called and ended up with a whopping £17.70 bill for just over half an hour on the phone. The worst part? Sky claimed it wasn’t their number at all, even though I booked my Sky Q through them. Totally confusing and feels like a rip-off.AvoidSkySky Q9 yearsI've never called this number before. I reached out to Sky using a different line, yet this number appears on my EE bill, and they've hit me with an £11 charge for a call I didn’t even make. Quite outrageous behaviour from Sky, really. It feels quite underhanded.SkyEE9 yearsWhen I had a look at my mobile bill, I stumbled upon the number mentioned above, along with a hefty charge exceeding £15. The thing is, I’m absolutely certain that I reached out to Sky using a completely different number. It’s left me absolutely seething! Now I’m quite apprehensive about getting in touch with Sky again, fearing I might be hit with similar charges... This feels nothing short of theft!Sky9 yearsI was hit with a bill exceeding £22 after attempting to arrange a Sky subscription. What’s worse is a fair bit of this charge came while I was on hold, completely oblivious to the fact that I was being billed. It’s absolutely scandalous! The government really ought to put a stop to such daylight robbery. Just a heads-up-Virgin seems to be at it as well!SkyVirgin9 yearsI’ve just noticed over £15 in charges to this number - what an absolute con! It feels rather sneaky, to be honest. Sky, if you happen to be monitoring this, I’m meticulously reviewing my statements and I expect either a complete refund or a year’s free subscription to the full package. This level of customer service is simply unacceptable!Sky9 yearsGot a call from this number on 7th Feb 2017, some woman saying she was from Sky. She argued loads and there was a lot of noise in the background - nothing like a proper Sky call. They rang me and then I got charged for the call! Really annoyed by the whole thing. Best to steer clear.Sky9 yearsTwenty quid for a single phone call? That's highway robbery, if you ask me!10 yearsI had to shell out £14 just to get signed up with Sky-what a cheek! They really ought to give people a heads-up about that extortionate call charge, don’t you think?Sky10 yearsI'm having a bit of a nightmare with my Sky Q at the moment. I've tried to get it sorted out by calling them, but I've now spent over 40 minutes on the phone not once, but twice, chatting with their tech support. It feels like I've been on hold forever! To top it off, my mobile's been hit with three charges amounting to £71. I'm planning to ask for a credit on my Sky bill to offset that, or else I might just have to consider cancelling the entire contract. It’s as straightforward as that.Sky10 yearsI've only just signed up with SKY TALK and they've already hit me with a charge of £9.28! It feels like I'm being robbed in plain sight.SKY TALK10 yearsWe were kept on the phone for an astonishing 22 minutes and 48 seconds. Honestly, just check the time! In the end, we decided to reach out to SKY to voice our dissatisfaction. At this point, a better option seems to be switching to Virgin!SKYVirgin10 yearsReceived a call associated with Sky, and it ended up costing me some cash.Sky10 yearsI called this number to sort out my Sky subscription and ended up on the line for 48 minutes, which is simply ridiculous. I also had to deal with 08435092422 for the same thing. By the time I was done, I'd forked out £29 and finally managed to cancel... When I really could have resolved it in just a minute! It's absolutely outrageous!Sky10 yearsI discovered that this number belongs to the Sky Help Desk and incurs a premium rate charge.Sky Help Desk10 yearsI had to call this number a couple of times to resolve an issue, and it ended up costing me over £20! They kept putting me on hold, and my problem still wasn’t sorted. My Sky bill is only £20 a month, yet I’m being charged almost the same amount just for two phone calls - it’s quite appalling. Surely, they should inform you upfront about such charges, and given their profits, it would be reasonable for them to offer callbacks instead. I’m keen to ring them again to try and get a refund, but I’m apprehensive about incurring more charges. I can’t even use the live chat, as I’ve heard that also comes with fees, much like a phone call! How on earth can I go about getting my money back?Sky10 yearsI was billed £4.137 for this number, and with VAT it came to £5.81, despite the fact that I didn't even ring this number at all. On the 22nd of April 2016, at just past eleven in the evening, I actually dialled a Sky number instead. Quite baffling, really!VAT11 yearsI 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!SkyVirgin11 yearsI noticed this number appears on my BT phone bill, but I definitely didn’t make that call. It ended up costing me 89 pence.BT11 yearsThis number belongs to the Sky Help Desk service.Sky Help Desk11 yearsThe contact number for assistance with Sky was 08442 411 818.Sky12 yearsCheers for that! You're spot on; I can recall giving Sky's help line a ring.Sky12 yearsThis number belongs to Sky and is meant for new clients. What I find rather odd is that they actually include charges for live chats with their representatives in your bill. I've never even dialled this number!
