Got email from Sky https://www.sky.com/shop/pre-reg/mobile
Only problem is, it doesnt recognise Irish mobile phone numbers :-)
I predict a pain in the arse contract that requires an annual argument with them
Nothing special so.
The brand will launch on Tuesday, and will include a €15 a month offering.
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??
Here's hoping they have plans more comparable to GoMo, 48 and Tesco rather than Vodafone's high pricing.
Interesting, seems like devices etc are part of the plan.
Its on the main sky website.
Sky.com , click "deals", scroll down a tiny bit.
must not be set up for marketing mails most likely
If you like dog slow data speeds. You get vodafone signal but dreadful data processing.
Spoke to 2 SKY customers.Neither has received any notification about a mobile set up
Worth looking at An Post. They're on the Vodafone network and much cheaper.
Is the Skymobile invitation for current tv/bband customers only? Nothing on any variation of Sky in a web search
I got a text from Vodafone yesterday to tell me that my legacy plan is increasing by €5 per month. It was expensive enough so that's the final straw for me, I've registered with Sky out of curiosity. The Eir coverage isn't good around here so if I can stay with the physical Vodafone network, that might be a plus.
true but that's probably 95%+ of the market. I don't imagine Sky are going to come in targeting the small number of users who spend a lot of time outside the EU and consume terabytes of mobile data.
GoMo = Get out more often. Honest
Low if you stick within your plan and the EU area
Who could have imagined the day that vf is not the preferred base network anymore
I'm hoping they try to stand out from existing MNVOs by offering esim, 4G Calling, Wifi-calling and hopefully Apple Watch esim support.
I imagine they will go in with similar pricing as Virgin Mobile which is not all that great at all. I hope I'm proved wrong but not expecting any great value really from them. The fact the use Vodafone also is a drawback as they really are falling behind Eir and Three in terms of Signal/speeds the past few years.
True, I have Sky tv and broadband but I'm not expecting it to be cheaper than Gomo. Even if it was somehow cheaper than the €10 Gomo deal I still probably wouldn't go to the hassle of changing networks to save what would probably amount to a very minimal saving per year.
Best SIM Only Deals in Ireland - GoMo €14.99/Month
At the start of the year Sky Mobile UK were offering a Nokia 105 with unlimited calls and texts + 100MB data for £2 per month for 36 months. It would be great for auld biddies non-data users if they offered a similar basic plan here.
What is GOMO?
Id imagine there will be a huge marketing campaign that will be difficult to miss.just don't fancy getting bombarded with phone calls/ emails
So you don't need to keep checking their website?
Why on earth would you pre-register giving them all your details when it will on their website when they launch
prices in Ireland are pretty low already I think - it's one of the few areas where we're cheaper than most other EU countries. There are several companies offering "unlimited" plans for €15 a month (48 is €13 a month)
They'll do well to be cheaper than GOMO
One would assume Sky will offer very cheap plans starting off, especially for those with Sky Broadband/TV.
True competition is to have another mobile phone licence auction. The sale of o2 to Three (reducing the number of mobile networks to three) increased prices for consumers. Comreg was against this sale going ahead, but the EU cleared it on competition grounds.
