Sky Mobile, coming to Ireland

Spoke to 2 SKY customers.Neither has received any notification about a mobile set up

must not be set up for marketing mails most likely

Interesting, seems like devices etc are part of the plan.

So there will be no PAYG option?

And, reduction in bill once your device is paid off?

And you'll have to buy a phone from them as part of the deal??

Nothing special so.

Sky are difficult to get out of contract with, wouldn't be signing up with them for mobile, plenty of cheaper options out there.

In a Sunday Independent article.

To be fair the process for moving your mobile is a process well known and regulated, porting your number to another provider automatically closed your airtime contract with the loosing provider, no need to make contact and go through a cancelation process assuming you have reached the end of any minimum term you have signed up to

12 month contract.

Peculiar that they refer to their plans as "5G ready" rather than "5G". The small print in the T&Cs says 5G devices will work as 4G until a "software upgrade". This suggests that Sky don't have 5G working?

While I am not an Apple iPhone fan, it is strange that Sky don't have any Apple devices. Apple have very strict compliance requirements before they allow anyone use their brand. Perhaps Sky haven't got everything working to Apple's satisfaction yet?

12 months minimum contract is taking a risk for an unproven provider. Services like GoMo or PAYG SIMs allow users to try out a service for a month before committing.

I wonder if Sky mobile customers will suffer from the same IP zone blocking that is currently impacting Sky's broadband customers in Ireland, which is preventing them receiving RTE, Virgin, and smart-speaker streaming services that are geo-blocked from outside Ireland? (Sky customers are being treated as if they are in UK, and can currently receive some UK services that are normally geo-blocked from Ireland - but this probably won't last)

Unlimited at home calls texts AND DATA in UK and Europe. That's a fantastic deal imho for anyone who travels across Europe. Yes we have data roaming with others, but that's limited. This is a huge pro if you're a data hungry user.

Apparently this is a limited introductory offer.

I'm ordering!

It looks promising, even supporting VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling from the start. But I'll hold off for now. Like @babelfish1990 said, it's a risk opting into a 12 month contract with such a new provider.

I cannot find this info. Why they say €15 a month, what's a month? Is it like billed day on the 1st of each month? Every 28 days? No info here, but I'm guessing it's the former. There is a tariff link, but that just results in an error.

Where does it reference wifi calling? I saw them mentioning volte
