Huge monthly mobile increase

I have SIM only with Sky, £6 a month for only 2GB. Just been advised it’s going up by £2 a month to £8 a month. Out of contract so will definitely be going elsewhere.

    Do your research first and look at their "new customer" offers.

    Call them on 150 for free and haggle, there are often deals to be had.


  • Even the £6 wasn’t a good deal.

    I pay £4.50 per month for 5GB with Lebara.  It's so each to switch mobile networks, especially if you stick to PAYG/no-contract

    smarty you get way more for that
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    If you sign up with iD Mobile which runs on the Three network & is owned by Currys on Mobiles.co.uk (also owned by Currys) there is impressive cashback by redemption. You need to upload a bill at months 7, 12, 16, 20, and 24 to prove that you are still a subscriber & receive one fifth of the total cashback each time.
    offers (after cash back)

    40GB £4/month
    63GB £5/month
    80GB £6/month
    175GB £7/month
    300GB £8/month
    Unlimited £10/month

    Free EU roaming with 30GB of data is included plus all the benefits of the underlying Three network like WiFi Calling but without the sneaky CPI+3.9% mid-contract price rise.

    I defy anyone to find a better SIM-only deal currently available.
