Sky Mobile has cut its 1GB SIM from £5 to £1 a month, an 80% drop on a plan that already includes unlimited calls and texts.
Calls and texts sit alongside 1GB of mobile data on the Sky Mobile 1GB SIM, which drops from £5 to £1 a month on a 24-month term, a saving of £4 every month or 80%.
Barely use your mobile data? This £1-a-month 1GB SIM is all you need
Whether it’s a backup phone, a kid’s first mobile or you’re always on Wi-Fi, this £1-a-month SIM fits the bill.
Paying a single pound a month makes the Sky Mobile 1GB SIM cheap enough to run as a second line for a tablet, a work phone or a family member who mainly needs to stay reachable.
Light plans often end the month with data left over, and Sky Mobile rolls that spare allowance into a Sky Piggybank for up to a year, ready to share across up to seven SIMs on your account.
Piggybank data does more than sit there. You can put it towards a range of rewards or use it to get money off a new device or accessory, so even the megabytes you never touched carry real value.
Needs can change across a 24-month term, and the My Sky app lets you move up to a bigger data plan straight away or drop down from your next bill date, whenever your usage shifts.
Upgrading may never be necessary for video, as Sky Mobile streams Sky apps such as Sky Go, Sky Sports and Sky News without using your data, so catching a match on the move leaves your 1GB untouched.
Trips abroad are covered too, as roaming in over 120 destinations costs £2 a day and activates automatically when you land, with nothing to install, while Sky’s network covers 99% of the UK for everything back home.
Anyone who mostly calls, texts and checks a map now and then can drop their bill to £1 a month with the Sky Mobile 1GB SIM, keeping £4 a month that would have paid for idle data.
