Sky Mobile - any good?
Discussion
Spoke with them earlier, via online chat, and whilst they are working on it (no idea of timescale), the Google Pixel 3 is not currently being offered WiFi calling. Not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but a shame.
Interesting to see mixed responses on here. Having looked at the Ofcom coverage checker, O2 and Vodafone (plus their piggyback networks I assume) work best for my area so will take a proper look to see how they compare later, but my initial view was that Sky were pretty competitive.

It's a cheap way to get a handset, but the airtime tariffs are a rip off for data vs sim only payg stuff
Ours was knitted so much into our TV contract too it seems, when I cancelled the TV and BB it went up by a tenner a month for the calls and texts, and they would not just not apply it so the contract had the calls and stuff it came with initially.
Can't wait for it to end in November (it's the ex's...)
Free calls and texts for Sky Tv Customers is the offering.Ours was knitted so much into our TV contract too it seems, when I cancelled the TV and BB it went up by a tenner a month for the calls and texts, and they would not just not apply it so the contract had the calls and stuff it came with initially.

My contract is at the end now, only 4 months left, and the contract was for (I think, all traces of it have been eradicated from the website now and the paperwork we recieved does not detail it) unlimited minutes and text if you had a sky tv sub. 300 mins and 500 texts or similar otherwise.
I only paid £3.50 a month for the contract, and £10 for the phone. Now it's £13.50 with the mandatory billed for unlimited minutes and texts.
Still it runs out soon! Even before we split up I'd have cancelled it and gone with a payg monthly sim, some superb bargains if you already have a handset! I only binned mine off as I wanted a new phone (skipped a few and then my phone became too old to run anything), at the end of that I'll assess if I still like my P20 pro enough to not want another new phone for a year and drop to payg again.
The sky data for the price is awful unless it's recently changed.

I'd recommend calling, the data deals are far better now. You can get 8Gb for around £10.I only paid £3.50 a month for the contract, and £10 for the phone. Now it's £13.50 with the mandatory billed for unlimited minutes and texts.
