Sky Mobile crack £5/month 500MB data deal

Sky Mobile have introduced the UK’s lowest monthly priced 500MB SIM Only deal, costing £5 a month.

The deal – available through this link – comes with unlimited calls and texts for Sky TV customers.

The move to offer cheaper deals with lower data comes off the back of research by Kantar Media, which says over a quarter of SIM Only mobile users have a monthly data allowance of less than 1GB.

The new plan, available from Thursday 1 June, comes with no upfront costs.

Customers opting for the Sky Mobile 500MB plan can choose to increase their data allowance to 1GB, 3GB or 5GB or buy a one-off 1GB data add-on if they are running low on data. Any unused data is automatically rolled over into a customer’s Sky Piggybank every month to use for three years.

All customers with a Sky Mobile plan, including the new 500MB plan, can now use their monthly mobile data, calls, and texts allowance in 36 European destinations at no extra cost.

Liz Wynn, Sky’s Director of Mobile, said: “Our new tariff gives even better value to Sky TV customers as they can now get 500MB of data with Unlimited Calls and Texts for only £5 a month.

“It’s also available with all our handsets and Sky Mobile now offers the lowest monthly price compared to major networks across our full range of phones with prices starting from just £12.50 per month.”

Non-Sky TV customers can save money by opting for a Pay-As-You-Go calls and texts package, or choose the Unlimited Calls & Texts package for an additional £10 per month.
