Sky sim only 1GB + unlimited calls & texts for £1/month

Detail_Merchant

I think Sky have offered this before, but it isn't a standard price from them.
https://www.sky.com/shop/mobile/plans/

1 GB plan shows the standard price as £8 a month, but has a banner lower down saying "Now £1 a month".

I've never used Sky for mobile, only for TV, and they can be a pain.
Also the price isn't guaranteed to stay at £1 even for the initial 12 months, but you could leave early if they do raise the price then.

Not a recommendation, but £1/month could be useful in some cases I guess.

Great to pair with Scancom data sim if you have dual sim phone…

If they guaranteed it for the 24 months I'd consider it but you just know that come next April it'll go up by £3 and then probably be at £11pcm at end of minimum term.

Reading elsewhere, people who've taken this deal when it has been offered before have had the price rise by £1 the following April (100% price rise!)
It's only a 12 month minimum term, and in the Sky Mobile Ts&Cs, condition 8.4 means you can exit early if they increase the price.
So maybe best to think of it as a 10 month deal.

I took this deal the last time it was offered, last September. No increase since.

Was useful since it is used as a second/backup service in my phone which needs an eSIM for the second 'slot'. Has data 'rollover' if you don't use your month's worth.

Gives access to the MySky account/app which can have useful freebies/offers. £2/day for EU roaming (25GB).

The MySky angle could possibly be useful for a non Sky TV customer thinking of getting Sky Stream.
Sky have sometimes offered better than new customer deals via the app.
Sorry for another HUKD link - https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sky-ultimate-ps15pm-4866223
That was offering Sky Ultimate for £15/month for 2 years, with price increases every 12 months.

I've just ordered one of these SIMs.

Oddly, after ordering I received two emails from Sky saying they'd cancelled my order(?) but when I log in to my new Sky account it looks like my order has been processed and they're waiting for me to activate my SIM.

Weird. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the post and hopefully it will turn up!

Ok, if they don't like me it's no biggie; I'll stick with Spusu!

If the o2 signal was usable round my area, I'd jump at this deal for a second SIM but unfortunately no good.
