However the new service might not seem terribly attractive unless you also take Sky TV.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The new service, which was officially unveiled in November 2016 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/11\/uk-isp-sky-broadband-unveils-new-sky-mobile-service-prices.html\">full details<\/a>), is powered by a <strong>Mobile Virtual Network Operator<\/strong> (MVNO) agreement with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> (Telefonica UK) and charges \u00a310 per month for 1GB of data, \u00a315 for 3GB or \u00a320 for 5GB. On the surface this doesn&#8217;t seem very attractive, but Sky&#8217;s strategy is all about customer retention and as such you have to be an existing <strong>Sky TV<\/strong> subscriber in order to extract the most benefit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/skymobile\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Mobile<\/a>&#8217;s Key Features<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b7 Roll<\/strong> \u2013 Customers can roll over unused data into their online \u2018piggybank\u2019 each month (in <span class=\"ea\">1GB increments<\/span>), to use whenever they need for up to 3 years. Some rivals do this, but the data roll-over usually expires quite quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b7 Mix<\/strong> \u2013 Customers can create a plan that\u2019s right for them, which they can change every month. Just to clarify this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/skymobile\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Mobile<\/a> plans are still 12 month contracts, but customers are free to change their \u201cMix\u201d of data, calls and texts every month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b7 Save<\/strong> \u2013 Sky TV customers don\u2019t have to pay for unlimited UK calls or texts with any Sky Mobile data plan. Each household will also be able to register up to 5 SIMs, which Sky claims could generate an annual saving of up to \u00a3600 a year on their Sky Mobile bill. In addition, Sky+ customers choosing to take Sky Mobile will receive Sky Go Extra for free, saving \u00a360 a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b7 Sync<\/strong> \u2013 Sky TV customers can create their personal playlists of favourite shows, synced from their Sky box at home, to watch wherever they are. This mobile entertainment service is available for Sky+ customers at launch, with the functionality coming for customers with a Sky Q box next year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The main weakness of Sky&#8217;s approach, apart from the obvious one of being limited in scope to enticing Sky TV subscribers (for anybody else it may simply look too expensive), is that their top data allowance is only 5GB and those who already need more monthly data for their Mobile Broadband use won&#8217;t enjoy such a restriction.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> will give you a 12GB plan with 200 mins and unlimited texts for \u00a319 per month and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> also have a 12GB plan for \u00a319.99, which includes unlimited minutes and texts. Against that Sky&#8217;s offer struggles and a bigger data allowance (maybe double what they offer today) would certainly help to even the playing field, particularly with Sky&#8217;s data roll over advantage.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d also say that Sky shouldn&#8217;t forget that they have a lot of customers who only take their fixed line broadband and phone. Admittedly TV might be Sky&#8217;s bread and butter, but excluding the others from their &#8216;Save&#8217; benefits will hinder uptake and ignores the fact that Mobile is a communication service, just like broadband and phone. The three comms services fit well together.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Stephen van Rooyen, Sky&#8217;s UK and Ireland Chief Executive, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re excited that Sky Mobile goes on nationwide sale today, which is great news for UK consumers. Right now mobile contracts are inflexible and confusing and we all know people are buying more data than they need to avoid those extra charges.<\/p>\n<p>With Sky Mobile we\u2019ve provided the solution, offering flexibility and great value so our customers\u2019 unused data will be theirs to keep and they can create a plan that\u2019s right for them, month to month. And there\u2019s even more benefits for Sky TV customers with free UK calls and texts, plus the ability to sync with their Sky+ box.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sky will soon publish a new set of financial results, but it&#8217;s probably too soon to expect much information on the early uptake of Sky Mobile. Later in 2017, Sky will also aim to expand their offering to include the best handsets from Apple and Samsung, as well as from other providers to be confirmed nearer the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky (Sky Broadband) has this week confirmed that their new Sky Mobile service is now available for anybody to buy, after initially only being made available to Sky&#8217;s existing customers and those who pre-registered.
