You need to contact Sky sales and ask them if they can do everything for you, things have changed slightly,.

However it is also possible to go back to BT and do the following:

Be on BT Weekends plan or I think the Light User Scheme
And take out Sky Broadband and Sky Talk

You pay your line rental to BT but Sky for TV,Internet and phone CALLS.

Alternatively, you do not have to take Sky Talk as it seems more expensive than BT's offering.

If I couldn't get Virgin Media cable services and had to go with Sky, I would do the following:

Use BT Anytime Calls (BT Together Option 3)
Sky Broadband
Sky TV

Remember you don't need Sky Talk for Sky Broadband! You just need Sky TV in order to get Sky Talk or Sky Broadband or any combination of the two.

Sky Talk seems a bit more pricier than BT.

Sky Talk Anytime calls costs £5 per month where as BT Anytime calls costs £4.95 per month, With Sky Talk you don't get inclusive 0845 and 0870 calls unlike BT where such numbers are included. Furthermore, calls to 0843,08440871,0872,0873 and premium rate services are also cheaper as BT's call connection fee is also lower.

So remember, if you do go through BT remember you have the option to keep line rental with BT. That way, no early termination fees!

But you do need to contact Sky's sales team to get such services, the website doesn't show it as Sky don't like the idea of you keeping your line rental with BT.
