    Did you click on the link to buy the access, then you will be charged?

    Navigate to this page on your Galaxy http://www.live.3ireland.g.box.tv that's the link into the free Sky, you get Sky Sports 1,2 & 3 and also Sky news. It won't use your data allowance and it's completely free.

    Make sure you are not using it on wifi or on 2g roaming.

    Sorry all the link I posted is wrong, this one is correct http://www.live.3ireland.g-box.tv

    There is a "-" between the g and the box not a "." :o

    There is a banner on planet 3 clearly says free sky sports for the wave and galaxy

    Is it just for the galaxy and wave or can all 3 customers get it?

    Nothing comes out of your data allowance, it's the same if your surfing around planet 3, previewing tunes or videos in the 3 music store, using skype or msn etc. All that is fully free, won't cost you a penny or any data.

    Hi, sky sports on 3 is free if you access it through the free tab which is located near the bottom of the page in the planet 3 page. If you access sky sports through the sky sports link you will be charged.
