Sky Mobile - Good or bad?

[wibbly]

Wondering if anyone is on sky mobile and their experiences with it.

They seem to have really good deals for phones and data packages - would be interested to hear some feedback.

When you say good deals, do you mean they appear cheap because you have to pay for the phone over 30 months in many instances?

Isn't it backed by o2?

Yes it uses O2 network. Like Tesco and I find them good

I used to find them hit and miss for coverage down south. Just do the usual coverage checks where you need it most.

O2 did win Uswitch’s Best Network Coverage award.

Might also be worth looking at Plusnet mobile, I’ve got a sim for the car and my iPad and they were by far the best deal. They run on EE network, which I generally find better than O2 (work phone), although both are fine.

Fair enough, I guess real world may vary however. Bandwidth on data was generally lower than most too.

For me it would only be 3 or EE - where I live 4g or 3g on o2 was pants!

Also if you don`t actually need a new shiny phone, sim deals are pretty good. I got 40gb data and unlimited voice & text for £15 pm

We have three phones and an ipad on Sky (mix of SIm only and contract) Been impressed with the service and we can move unused data between phones. Much better than Vodaphone or 3 in terms of coverage where we are.

If you're going with a carrier that uses O2 then also consider Giffgaff and O2 themselves, unless there's a compelling reason for using sky.
