Sky Mobile's unlimited data deal cuts £108 off price and is cheaper than O2 and Vodafone
Sky Mobile has cut the price of its unlimited data plan, offering unlimited data for £20 a month, that's cheaper than O2 and Vodafone right now Sky Mobile has launched a surprise sale, slashing the price tags on various device tariffs, with its SIM-only plans among the top bargains. The move sees Sky joining the ranks of O2 and Vodafone, both of whom are currently running sales, heralding an opportune moment for consumers mulling over a new SIM. Data-hungry users may find Sky Mobile's unlimited data offer particularly tempting, as it beats both O2 and Vodafone in the cost-effectiveness stakes amid the ongoing sale. Marked down by £9 monthly, Sky offers unlimited data at £20 per month. A discount from the regular price of £29 a month, it's a £108 saving across the first year of the 24-month contract term. This edges out the competition with O2 priced at £22 and Vodafone at £24 monthly for similar plans. Sky imposes no limit to data usage, customers can surf and stream to their heart's content. Coupled with 5G capabilities – courtesy of O2's network infrastructure – Sky presents a compelling choice for heavy data consumers. Shop the Sky Mobile Unlimited Data deal - here The package is sweetened with European roaming options (though travellers should verify country coverage) and includes limitless calling and messaging services. While Sky Mobile consistently garners praise for excellent value, consumers would do well to weigh up the myriad benefits of alternative providers. Usually vigilant checks on network coverage are advisable, but given Sky Mobile's shared network with O2, connectivity issues with one will invariably affect the other. Vodafone might be your best bet in this case. Their Unlimited Plus package is slightly pricier (it'll set you back an extra £48 in the first year) and boasts a top speed of 100Mbps - shop the deal here. Currently discounted, Vodafone Unlimited Plus is now just £24 per month, down from £33, saving shoppers £108 over the first year, in line with Sky's offer. O2 is also having a sale, with discounts on unlimited data. The O2 Unlimited plan is available for £22 per month in an online-only deal. While this tariff doesn't include all the Extras that come with some of the pricier plans, it does offer unlimited data at a fantastic price. These summer sales won't last forever, with O2's sale wrapping up on 4 June, and Sky Mobile nearing the end of its Week of Treats. It's worth noting that these are SIM-only deals, so shoppers need to purchase the phone separately. This comes with a benefit, as it allows you to change your phone as often as you wish and gives you the freedom to hunt for the best deals, buy refurbished devices or get your hands on the latest phones as soon as they hit the market.

Sky Mobile's unlimited data SIM beats O2 and Vodafone
The Week of Treats from Sky Mobile is coming to its end, so grab this SIM will it's still on offer Sky Mobile is running a surprise sale, cutting prices on a number of device tariffs, with some of the best deals on its SIM-only plans. It joins O2 and Vodafone, who also have sales right now, making it a great time to consider a new SIM. If you're a high data user then Sky Mobile's unlimited data plan might appeal, especially as it beats O2 and Vodafone on price in the latest sale. Discounted by £9 a month, you can get unlimited data for £20 a month from Sky Mobile. It normally costs £29 a month, so you'll save £108 in the first year of the 24-month contract. That's cheaper than O2's equivalent which is £22 a month and Vodafone which is £24 a month. Sky doesn't have a cap on the amount of data you can use, so there's no "fair use" policy here, so you can use as much as you want. With great 5G coverage – powered in this case by O2's network – it's a great choice for those who want to use a lot of data. It also includes roaming across Europe (but check the supported countries before you travel) while you also get unlimited calls and texts. While Sky Mobile is known for offering great value for money, there are some advantages to choosing another network. Normally, I'd recommend checking your connectivity before choosing, but if Sky Mobile doesn't work, then O2 won't work either, because they run on the same network. In that case, Vodafone might be a better option. The Unlimited Plus offering is a little more expensive (it'll cost you £48 more in the first year) and it comes with a 100Mbps top speed. Vodafone Unlimited Plus is also discounted, now £24 a month instead of £33. That's still a saving of £108 across the first year. There's also a sale at O2 and there's a discount on unlimited data here too. The O2 Unlimited plan is £22 a month in an online only deal. This tariff doesn't come with all the Extras that some of the more costly tariffs do, but you're still getting that unlimited data at a great price. These summer sales aren't running for much longer, with O2's sale finishing on 4 June, and Sky Mobile coming to the end of its Week of Treats. It's worth remembering that these are SIM-only deals and you'll have to buy the phone separately. That comes with an advantage, because you can change your phone as often as you like and it gives you the freedom to shop around for the best deals, to buy refurbished devices or to get the latest phones as soon as they launch.

Major mobile network ads BANNED for all Brits after ‘misleading' savings claim – exact SIM plans slammed by watchdog
Following an investigation, the watchdog concluded that the savings of £240 and £312 in both package promotions "were not genuine" BAD SIGNAL Major mobile network ads BANNED for all Brits after 'misleading' savings claim – exact SIM plans slammed by watchdog Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VODAFONE has had two website adverts removed by the UK's advertising watchdog for making "misleading" claims about savings. Customers were led to believe two SIM card packages advertised during November and December last year could save them as much as £312 annually. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The watchdog told Vodafone that the ads in their current form must not appear again Credit: PA However, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) found they did not return on the savings promised. An advert for Vodafone's Unlimited Plus SIM plan, referred to as example A, stated: "Save £240. Monthly £23. Offer ends 19 December." While a previous version of the ad, example C, said: "Unlimited Plus. Black Friday. Save £312. Monthly £20. Offer ends 02 December." Similarly, an advert for Vodafone's Unlimited Max SIM package, example B, read: "Black Friday: Save £312. Monthly £23. Offer ends 2 December'." However, another version of the advertisement, example D, said: 'Unlimited Max. 6 months half price. Monthly £18. £36pm after 6 months. Offer ends 28 November'. The savings claimed in the example A were based on a prior price of £33 per month, but the immediately preceding price had been their Black Friday deal of £20 from example C. The listings were investigated by the regulator after it received a complaint from rival mobile network provider EE. Following an investigation, the watchdog concluded that the savings of £240 and £312 in both package promotions "were not genuine". Savings claims in the two packages "had not been made against the immediately preceding prices at which the products were sold at when the ads appeared," the watchdog wrote in its ruling. Inside Vodafone's 'fastest-ever' broadband speed boost ASA also found that the products in both ads "did not return to the prices against which the savings were being claimed once the promotions ended" - which meant they were misleading. The watchdog told Vodafone that the ads in their current form must not appear again. The network provider was also told to "ensure that future savings claims did not mislead and to ensure products returned to the price against which the saving was being claimed, once a promotion ended". Vodafone responded to the ASA's investigation, noting that during the promotional period, the Unlimited Plus was on offer for 33 per cent of the time and the Unlimited Max was on offer for 49 per cent of the time, according to Marketing Beat.

Google Fi Launches $35 Unlimited Essentials Plan with More Data Perks
Google Fi is rolling out a new budget-friendly option called the Unlimited Essentials plan, priced at just $35 per month for a single line. This new entry-level plan includes unlimited talk, text, and data, with up to 30GB of high-speed data before speeds are reduced—making it the most affordable unlimited offering in Google Fi's lineup. Alongside this launch, Google Fi is also refreshing its existing plans with more value and new names. The Simply Unlimited plan is now called Unlimited Standard, and while it still costs $50 a month, it now includes up to 50GB of high-speed data—up from the previous 35GB. Hotspot tethering has also received a boost, increasing from 5GB to 25GB of high-speed data. Meanwhile, the top-tier Unlimited Plus plan is being renamed Unlimited Premium. This plan still costs $65 per month for one line, but now offers double the high-speed data—100GB instead of 50GB. However, there's a trade-off: it no longer supports unlimited high-speed hotspot tethering and is now capped at 50GB. Another big upgrade includes better support for secondary devices. Google Fi now allows users to connect tablets or laptops using a data-only eSIM, which many newer devices like Apple's latest iPads already support. Previously, users had to rely on physical SIM cards. You can add a device by visiting tapping Manage plan, then Connect your tablet, and scanning a QR code, 'at no extra cost.' Other improvements include expanded international 5G access, now covering over 92 countries for those on the Unlimited Premium and Flexible plans. Additionally, both iPhone and Android users will soon be able to listen to voicemails directly from the Phone app instead of using the Fi app, with that update rolling out 'in the coming weeks.'
