Uswitch services are provided at no cost to you, but we may receive a commission from the companies we refer you to. If a deal is "promoted" on Uswitch's tables, then it has been lent additional visibility as a result of us securing exclusivity on a great deal, or a commercial agreement to showcase what we believe to be market-leading value to consumers.

Until 2024, many mobile networks have increased contract prices in line with inflation. Starting in January 2025, Ofcom will introduce a ban on inflation-linked price hikes for new contracts. Future price changes will need to be set and fully disclosed in pounds and pence.

Sky Mobile offers many different mobile phone plans, including the latest iPhones, Samsung handsets, and Android devices. It also offers many data options, from small monthly allowances to a whopping 75GB a month.
Sky Mobile phone deals are available on 12-month, 24-month and 36-month contracts. As you might expect, the 12-month contracts tend to be more expensive, while the longer contracts allow you to spread the cost over a longer period of time. However, this does mean you’ll be tied into your contract for longer, giving you fewer options to switch.
Sky Mobile lets you use your monthly allowance of calls, texts and data while you’re abroad, but you will need to pay extra to do so. Since Brexit has allowed mobile phone networks to reintroduce roaming charges in EU countries, Sky Mobile now charges customers £2 a day to use their data, send texts or make and receive calls.
Sky Mobile's service is based on O2's network. So, in turn, it offers 98.97% 4G coverage in the UK - plus 5G in a number of locations - whether you're on a pay-monthly phone contract or a pay-as-you-go deal.
Sky’s network has an average connection speed of 17.1Mbps for 4G and 92.3Mbps for 5G.
According to network speed survey results released by OpenSignal in September 2022
Sky Mobile customers can upgrade at any point during their contract for a fee or wait until the end of their contract to upgrade for free. They can also trade in their existing phone in exchange for money off a newer model.
Sky’s customer service centre is open between 8:30am and 11:30pm every day of the week, including weekends. The service can be reached on 033 3759 1716.
Sky has already received awards for its customer service, and has pledged to provide the same levels of satisfaction to consumers who sign up for a SIM-only deal.
Sky Mobile offers a wide range of contract and SIM-only deals, starting at as little as £6 per month for a package of calls, texts, and data.
Sky Mobile is backed by O2's network and offers competitive SIM-only deals with generous data allowances, free data rollover, and free calls and texts.
You shouldn’t have any issues keeping your existing phone number if you’re switching to Sky Mobile from another network. Simply text PAC to 65075, and your current network will reply with your PAC code. Then, after you’ve signed up for your new Sky Mobile deal, you just need to give Sky your PAC code so they can transfer your old number across to your new SIM card.

If Sky Mobile isn’t for you, there are plenty of other networks that might have what you’re looking for:
Sky Mobile uses O2’s network to deliver fast speeds and extensive coverage throughout the UK.
Yes, once you’ve paid off your Sky Mobile contract, you own the phone. However, you can use SkySwap if you sign up for a new Sky Mobile contract. This allows you to swap your handset for a newer mobile phone.
