I recall that a few years ago in the very early days of Sky Talk (before CPS)
the prefix was (I think) 140

So am I right in assuming it's defunct now?

You will probably need someone still using it or someone who was
"forced" to change to CPS to answer that :-) It doesn't seem to figure
in Sky information any more.

I cannot see the benefit anyway. Dial 140 first to pay Sky for the calls
(with no free calls) instead of BT or dial 1280 to suppress Skytalk to
get cheaper calls using BT Friends & Family (10 land/mobile, 5
international) when not getting free calls. Storing 1280 on the phone
provides a reminder :-)
