Wonderful news for mobile users across the United Kingdom! Sky Mobile has officially launched 5G connectivity on its network, bringing faster speeds and enhanced performance to your fingertips. This fantastic update is available from today, 16th January 2020, and the best part is that it is completely free for any customer enrolled in Sky's free loyalty programme, Sky VIP. Whether you are a new joiner or a loyal existing customer, you can enjoy this premium technology without any extra cost on top of your current tariff.
The rollout is already making a difference in 20 cities and towns across the UK, including major hubs like London, Edinburgh, Belfast, and Leeds. There is even more to look forward to, with plans to expand coverage to a total of 50 UK destinations by summer 2020. This means more people will soon be able to experience the speed and reliability of 5G in their local areas.
Sky Mobile continues to offer excellent value for money. For those on the Sky VIP scheme, 5G is included at no additional charge. Existing tariffs start from just £6 a month for a 3GB data plan, making it an accessible option for everyone. If you need more data for browsing and streaming, the 9GB plan is available for only £12 a month. All plans include Unlimited Calls and Texts at no extra cost, ensuring you stay connected without worry. Furthermore, Sky TV customers can stream unlimited sports, movies, and TV shows through Sky's apps without using any of their mobile data allowance.
For those looking to upgrade their hardware, Sky Mobile offers a range of 5G-ready phones. Options include the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, and the Samsung Galaxy A90 5G. Prices start from £28 a month for the Galaxy A90 5G, with other models available from £46 or £48 a month, all including 3GB of data and free 5G access.
