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.

How do I find the best Sky SIM only deal for me?

Price and data allowance are the two things you should consider when choosing a SIM only deal from Sky Mobile or any other network.

You need to consider how you'll likely use your Sky Mobile SIM only deal and then find a package that matches your requirements.

All of Sky Mobile’s SIM only deals include unlimited calls and texts – so the data allowance is the main thing to consider. Do you need a lot or just a little bit of data? Either way, Sky’s SIM only plans span the whole spectrum, you can go as low as 3GB or up to 30GB and beyond.

Is Sky Mobile a good network?

Sky is a household name, especially known for its TV offering. But did you know it also has some of the market’s most attractive SIM-only deals?

It’s very affordable, with prices in line with the likes of Tesco Mobile, iD Mobile, and giffgaff. But you’ll also find some interesting perks and bonuses, like its data rollover benefit, that you don’t get with the bigger networks.

And since Sky Mobile runs on O2’s network, customers get reliable phone coverage throughout 99% of the UK, alongside a superfast 5G network.

Sky Mobile deals come in all shapes and sizes, and you can choose the data allowance that suits you best. Unlimited texts and calls are always included as standard.

What length of contract is available?

You can find a selection of plans with Sky Mobile. Whether it’s a 12-month SIM only deal, a 24-month package, or even rolling one-month deals, Sky has the options if you’re looking for something shorter term.

Do I need an unlocked phone to use a Sky Mobile SIM? 

Yes, you need an unlocked phone to go with your Sky Mobile SIM card. That’s because a handset locked to your previous network won’t work with your new Sky SIM card. 

The good news is that unlocking your phone is very easy. All you have to do is reach out to your old network and ask them to unlock the device. Once that’s done your Sky Mobile SIM card will work right away.

What happens at the end of a Sky SIM only plan?

When your Sky Mobile SIM only plan finishes, it will simply continue on a monthly rolling basis. However, you can cancel it if you wish, switch to a new Sky deal, or even completely change your network.

Can I change my Sky contract to SIM only?

If your monthly contract has come to an end and you’re all paid up, you can reach out to the Sky customer support team and inform them you want to switch to SIM only. Sky will then provide you with new offers that could save you money.

Other networks

If Sky Mobile isn't right for you there are many other UK networks with a range of products available. No matter your budget, data requirements, or handset preference, you’ll be able to find the ideal package:

FAQs

Can I get Sky pay as you go SIM?

Sky doesn’t offer pay as you go, but it does have a range of excellent SIM only deals. With 30-day deals available, you can sign up without any long term commitment.

What is the shortest Sky contract?

Sky’s 30-day deals are its shortest SIM only contracts. Sign up today and benefit from Sky’s excellent perks, such as data rollover.

Are Sky Mobile SIM only deals cheaper than contracts?

SIM only deals usually work out cheaper than a mobile phone contract deal. That’s because you won’t be paying off the price of the phone that was included as part of the contract. This makes SIM only deals very attractive if you already have a phone to use.

Can I get 5G enabled Sky Mobile SIMs?

Yes, all of Sky Mobile’s SIM cards are 5G enabled, so as long as you have a 5G smartphone and live in a 5G area, you can get involved with superfast 5G.

Do I need a Sky iD to use a Sky Mobile SIM?

No, you don’t need a Sky iD to activate your new Sky SIM, but creating one is quick and simple. You’ll also then be able to access all of Sky’s online services from your mobile phone.
