    I have another sim with them. 2gb for £3 and I wanted them to least match that but they were adamant £4.80 is the best offer they can give or stay on 100mb and pay £5. Ridiculous!

    Because it's a freebie? But only for existing customers? No idea - the mods are a law unto themselves at times.

    Why not take it just now? You get the sim, activate it, and would still get 9 months for free, then you can either cancel or pay the £5 from Feb next year?

    These 100mb sims are free for 'life' according to Sky advisors and previous nokia 105 deal on here. Fill your boots!


    Adding a bit more info here to put this comment in context:

    Im going off a conversation i had with a sky advisor for the Nokia deal when i bought it upfront (no credit check/monthly payment). He said all our free sims come with free mins/texts and the minimum data available 100mb. He did mention that all data sims are a minimum 12m term, but this didn’t matter as the sum is free anyway

    Suppose it doesn’t matter on this deal as you’re expecting 12m anyway. Anything more is a bonus

    Agree I constantly see the veryme offers which are freebies for existing customers only at top of the deals section.

    Perfect example is this one

    You can cap it. You’ll also get a notification at 80%. If you’ve got the data to move around, you could always move 1gb over and if it’s not used it’ll go back into the pot again.
    I don’t really like sky, but what they’ve done with the piggy bank should be applauded. Hope it shakes up the uk mobile market

  18. innocent's avatar
    Yes Harwinder Sky will honour your four extra sims because they allow upto six sims on one account.Be aware that 100mb data free is only available for 12 months and then you have to pay £5 or whatever the cost is at that time for each extra sim per month if you wish to continue

    Yes, but you can transfer data from piggybank to it. If run out of data, you either need to buy extra data, transfer data or wait for refresh

    This is incorrect. Any remaining data will be banked at the end of the month.

    You can only withdraw in multiples of 1GB.

    Sky mobile is fantastic. My two boys are on £6/6GB packs and I've got no complaints. I've got 3 months left on my ee contract but I'm to pick this up now and pay up the ee contract because it will still save me a fair bit of cash over the next 12 months. They've always got data left over so I'll just pinch a bit of theirs for the next year.

    T&C states prices might rise during minimum 12 months term.

    eg. 100mb is £5 but you get £5 discount. Unlimited calls is £10 but you get £10 discount. Nothing to pay provided you also set monthly spending cap to £0.00 to block going over 100mb or making premium calls.

    If there is a price rise, they could for example charge say £5.25 for 100mb and £10.50 for unlimited calls. But fixed discounts could remain unchanged, so you could end up paying 75p per month from date when price rise takes effect.

    Sky normally announce fixed phone and Broadband price rises in February with effect from 1st April. No idea when was last Sky Mobile price rise, if any.

    Update 16 Feb 2021: sky announced price rises yesterday with effect from 1st April for broadband and TV. There is NO price rises for Sky Mobile customers. (edited)

    Just tried again. Success.
    Got Nokia 105 with calls/text 100mb data sim free for life, wanted to pay upfront with 60gb data so total cost £12. They had trouble applying the 60gb piggybank data so credited me £30 on my account and let me keep the data.
    Also applied 50% off wife's 3gb sim for 3 years.
    Thanks (edited)

Does the 3 year piggybank start again from that new date or original date data added to piggy bank? Wondered if it was a loophole to extend the 3 years before piggy bank data expires. Hope that makes sense


    U can transfer it out and go back in, and it reset yes.. I can't be arse to do that yet but others have and cs confirm it reset.
  32. usenetz's avatar
    Just to clarify if porting out to a different network then back to your original provider giffgaff will cost £10 as you need to top-up to activate whereas ThreeUK does not require a top-up to activate so allows you to move your number out and back without any financial outlay. (edited)

    All the SIMs I've received from Sky were opened (maybe they check the codes?)

    The data is based on your existing refresh date on your account. It'll be a percentage of the days you have until that.

But all I can see is getting a PAC number from previous provider.How can I transfer my number to the new SIM?Is there a time limit on activating this free offer SIM or can I wait till March 16th.Hope some nice person can help me. Thank you.


    I only know the answer to the first question:

    You will have to take your number to another network and then bring it back to sky - as follows:

    • You give the request on day 1. (Let's say Tuesday).
    • As long as it's before 5pm, they port out on Wednesday.
    • Let it properly settle down on Wednesday.
    • Ask for the PAC on Thursday and put port request in before 5pm.
    • Port out on Friday.

    Just remember that they don't do ports on the weekend.


    3, EE & Lebara. I can confirm these three networks don't need topping up before they can get activated and Lebara will even give you £10 if you take your number to them.
