Sky Mobile, coming to Ireland

It’s funny but I have the complete opposite experience and find Three the best of the three networks by a long shot. Vodafone network isn’t great around here, as I found out, and I’m after switching to Eir and they’re even worse.

My phone is showing 5G but struggling to load webpages. Just tried to do a speed test there with 3/4 5G bars and fast.com is stuck on 660kbps and testmy.net and Speedtest.net won’t even load.

I was going to wait until my current offer ran out to get my money’s worth but don’t think I’ll bother and just move back to 48 or even Three.

I just realised that I’m with Sky mobile a month today!

So thought I’d give a quick update.

Initially I was one of those unlucky customers with the 2FA issue i.e. not receiving verification sms.

However I haven’t experienced the issue lately, so I guess the issue could be fixed now.

The only issue I experience now is temporarily getting stuck at “E” with no data. This seems to happen periodically when I leave my house WiFi and it hands over to mobile data. I’ve also seen it happen coming out of a weak underground signal area.

However the issue is quickly remedied by airplane mode.

I have added a shortcut button to my Home Screen (iOS). Pressing it basically turns on airplane mode, waits 3 seconds, and then turns airplane mode off. All seamlessly.

I see this as being a temporary issue and hopefully one they get sorted over time. I’m not overly concerned about it and it’s one I can fix myself, so only a minor inconvenience.

Otherwise happy enough so far.

Switched to sky last week, I've a pixel 7a,

I'm not getting 5g, just LTE, but with good speeds. - I'm in an area with perfect 5g network, and have been in larger towns with the phone, still no 5g.

Is this a network issue? A pixel issue? All settings are present and correct as far as I'm aware.

Anyone else having this issue?

Sound. Thanks for quick reply, it's been bugging me

Have the issues with WiFi calling been resolved? Planning to leave 48 as they cant offer it and badly needed in my current house during the day

What phone are you using? I have iphone 12 and partner has Samsung S24, both have wifi calling. Conscious for other phones on this thread (especially Google phones) may not have available yet.

Am hoping we have joined at the right time and all the crap they had initially are all sorted, thankfully no issues for either of us so far (almost 2 weeks in).

Has anyone bought a phone from them? Took this from their site, 36 month contract for S24 phone that seems to decrease monthly price in the last 12 months. The 24M contract is the same craic with the monthly price much higher initially, and then decreases for last 12 months.

Feels a bit complex for me but will look more into it when/if iPhones come along.

No it doesn't - the plan is 15 per month on top. So you end up paying 888 for the phone

Vodafone/Three/eir are only ones doing the inflation+3% yearly increase. Sky do do a yearly increase but you're usually free to leave the contract early, however with mobile the price is being advertised as "for life" so shouldn't be any increases at all.

Hi Folks. Changed from Vodafone to Sky last week. Got the sim in the post yesterday morning. Activated SIM about 9amat about 5pm lost network on my Vodafone sim, popped in the sky Sim all working OK, Voice over data and WiFi calling both working, getting same data speeds in house as I was with Vodafone. So all happy so far. Using a Samsung S24

This is from my S24 .VoLte is working on mines
