Sky Mobile - Reliable network with data rollover and phone swap

Sky Mobile launched back in 2017 aiming to differentiate itself from its major competitors by offering a brilliantly flexible service. Customers can get a new smartphone every 12 months via the Swap12 plan, with the option to choose from the latest and most popular phones on the market. Customers can also save and roll over any data that isn’t used.

How does Sky Mobile work?

Sky Mobile works just like other network providers, offering monthly phone and SIM-only contracts - but with some great Sky-exclusive benefits.

You can switch up your device with Sky Mobile Swap (more on that later), and get more value for money with Sky Piggybank, which allows you to rollover unused data for use on up to 7 different SIMs.

What’s more, as a TV, broadband and mobile phone provider, Sky is uniquely placed to provide combo offers on all of its services. These are not guaranteed, but through Sky VIP you may find some deals that apply if you also have another service.

Sky Mobile benefits

• Sky apps don’t use your data - when you use apps like Sky Go, Sky Sports and Sky News, they won’t use up any data in your plan
• No mid-contract hikes - Sky promises not to put up your contract price in the middle of the term
• Data rollover - You can roll over the data you haven’t used from the previous month with Sky Piggybank
• Switch by text - A Sky Mobile customer can enjoy hassle-free switching. Simply choose and order your SIM plan, text PAC to 65075 and visit sky.com/shop/mobile/activation to activate
• Sky Mobile Swap - you can swap to a new phone any time after 31 days. Costs may apply depending on contract type
• Flexible data - Sky Mobile lets you alter your data plan so it suits you and your usage, while all plans also come with unlimited calls and texts
• Unlocked devices - All Sky Mobile phones and tablets come unlocked as standard, and the same goes for their line of laptops.

Sky Piggybank

Sky Mobile’s data rollover service - Piggybank - is available to all customers not on an Unlimited Data plan (which makes sense).

It’s pretty simple: any unused data at the end of the month is banked – for up to 12 months - to be used to top up another SIM or to be exchanged for rewards. You can even put your banked data balance towards the cost of upgrading your device.

Sky Mobile Swap

Sky Mobile allows you to switch your device early with its Swap12 and Swap24 contract options. Perfect for those who want to enjoy the latest technology!

Provided your smartphone is in full working order with no physical damage, you can upgrade your device at any time after 31 days for a fee, or completely free after 12 (on Swap12) or 24 (on Swap24) months.

All you need to do to get a brand-new device is to send your old handset back to Sky. This will be used to pay off your remaining balance, alongside any data in your Sky Piggybank you choose to cash in.

Sky Mobile network coverage

Sky Mobile boasts fantastic 4G coverage all across the UK with only those in the most rural, remote areas really struggling to get a signal. If you want to see for yourself what it’s like in your area, you can use Sky’s online mobile coverage checker.

Lightning-fast 5G is gradually being rolled out by Sky Mobile so while it’s not yet at the same level of widespread coverage as 4G, it’s now present in several major cities including London, Liverpool, Bristol and Manchester.

Sky Mobile customer service

If you're having some issues with your Sky Mobile device or product, you can navigate to the Help page on the Sky website.

Here you'll find an array of topics that could help solve any problems you might be having, without needing to pick up the phone and call Sky's customer service team. There are also various articles to help Sky customers with more intricate issues, such as moving home and fraud.

If you want to speak to someone about Sky TV, Sky Broadband or Sky Mobile then take a look at this Sky Contact Number guide. It has everything you'll need, whether you're a new customer, existing customer looking to upgrade, or simply seeking some technical help.

Sky Mobile - what we think

Everybody knows Sky for their premium, blockbuster TV subscriptions, but how do they fare as a mobile provider?

In a word, Sky Mobile is all about flexibility.

It’s still strangely rare for a provider to offer data rollover each month, and Sky Mobile’s Piggybank service goes above and beyond. Not only can you bank unused data for a year, but you can share it between up to 7 SIMs and even cash it in for other rewards.

The decision to allow customers to switch their devices and plans so freely is also noteworthy, offering a service that will surely appeal to tech-lovers and those whose situations change from month-to-month.

Add to that excellent nationwide coverage and some tried-and-tested customer support and Sky Mobile begins to look like an excellent choice.
