Over the next few months, Sky Talk customers and their calls will be migrated to the BT Wholesale platform.

This deal with BT will maintain our quality of service and ensure that we enjoy increasing cost efficiencies as we continue to grow the service.”
Brian Fitzpatrick, managing director of BT Wholesale Markets, said: “In the highly competitive communications industry, providers are increasingly looking for ways to improve cost efficiencies.

We’re thrilled to be working with Sky to provide a call services to their 1.1 million customers.”
