We received this e-mail from one of our website users asking if we could find a geographical alternative for Sky. We don’t have one, but wonder does anyone else out there have one. Here’s the e-mail we received.

My query is I’m wondering if there is any other phone no. for us to ring Sky T.V besides the 0818 one that they advertise with. They do not give any other alternative. It would be great if you could get hold of another phone no. for the public and post it on your website. Thank you.

You can e-mail us at the contact details above, or post a comment here if you have an alternative for them.

Do you work for Sky? E-mail us in confidence - we won’t say where we got the number from.

We don’t use Sky TV here, but if anyone is speaking to them in the next few days, maybe ask them if they can provide you with the alternative, and then come let us know.

Thanks to the SayNoTo1890.com readers who provided these alternative geographical phone numbers for the companies referred to below. We have updated the respective pages with these new numbers also. These are not yet confirmed, so let us know if there’s any issues with the numbers.

• Perlico 1890 35 35 35 - Call 01 2933500
• Smart Telecom 1890 945 300 - Call 01 4699300
• Anglo Irish Bank (Personal Savings) 1850 44 22 22 - Call 01 6162494
• Tesco Direct Car Insurance 1850640640 - Call 0214527465

We received this from a reader last week.

• Although the O2 service for billed customers is free on 1909, someone might find it useful to have the landline version. 061 203501

We’ve received a couple of e-mails recently about the numbers for Chorus/NTL changing. The older numbers are also on the Utilities link, but here apparently are the new numbers.

Chorus / NTL - UPC

• Customer Care: Freephone 1908 - or call 01 245 8000

I received an e-mail today asking for alternative landline numbers for a few companies. Unfortunately these companies have proved most difficult for us to find such alternatives. Are you able to help?

• Aer Lingus - 0818 365000
• Ryanair - 0818 303030
• Sky TV - 0818 719852
• Quinn Insurance - 1890 89 1890

If you can shed any light on alternative landline numbers for these companies? Post a comment below, or e-mail us here.

We have added numbers to the Banks section (BOI Credit Cards) and the Utilities section this evening on www.saynoto1890.com.

The two added to the Utilities section are for Pay as You Go Vodafone and Speakeasy O2 customers to call their respective customer services - but they only provide CallSave 1850 numbers.

These are interesting because these companies provide special numbers for their Bill Pay customers (1907 and 1909 respectively) - these numbers are free call numbers.

So, if you’re a Vodafone Pay As You Go customer, you pay 31c from your credit for every minute you are getting customer care.

And if you’re an O2 customer on a SpeakEasy plan, you pay 30c for each minute of your customer care calls.
