What network does Sky Mobile use?
Sky Mobile does not have its own network. It is a mobile virtual network operator, and uses O2’s network infrastructure.
As Sky Mobile uses O2 for its network coverage, it is available everywhere O2 is available; and so, 4G is available for 99% of UK coverage.
Before taking taking out a Sky Mobile contract or a Pay as you go Sim, it is a good idea to check the coverage in your area. Check Sky Mobile’s coverage, here: Sky Mobile coverage checker.

Change your phone or tablet for a new device
Chose the new phone or table you want and once you have received it, send the old phone or tablet back to Sky Mobile. Whatever your old phone or table is worth, they will take off that money from your outstanding balance (if you have any).
Upgrade and keep your old phone or tablet
You can upgrade and receive your new phone or tablet. And, keep paying for the old device until the contract finishes. This way you get to keep both of the device.
Don’t upgrade and send back your phone or tablet
If you don’t want to upgrade with Sky Mobile, you can just send back your phone or tablet and they will take the value of the device off your balance.

Want to keep your number

Customer ratings
On Trustpilot, Sky Mobile gets 1.5 stars from ratings by customers, which is ‘bad’. Even looking around for customer reviews on other sites, seems to be similar.
Conclusion
With Sky Mobile, there are low prices available such as the Sim only deal for £6 which gives you unlimited minutes and text. And, you roll over any unused data for up to 3 years. However, on the monthly contract there is no 12 months contract available, only 24 months and 36 months.
The customer reviews are not very good. But, on a positive, they offer unlimited minutes and texts for low prices. And, if you are a Sky TV customer, you can stream Sky Shows free, through their App, without using any of your data.
