Millions of Sky Mobile subscribers are set to experience an increase in their monthly bills starting next month following the announcement of a new price hike. The majority of customers will witness a £1.50 monthly rise, amounting to an annual increase of £18. However, some individuals may face varied adjustments to their bills.
The escalated charges will be evident in customers’ bills from February 14, 2026, marking the first pricing alteration for in-contract Sky Mobile users in over seven years. Customers under contractual obligations who are dissatisfied with the increment have the option to terminate their packages without incurring early termination fees.
While the standard tariffs are subject to the price surge, the social tariff designed for low-income users will remain unchanged. Sky attributed the price adjustment to amplified wholesale network expenses and assured customers that notifications regarding the bill hikes will be disseminated starting today.
A spokesperson from Sky Mobile emphasized the necessity of the increase to uphold the expected quality, service, and value for customers. The spokesperson mentioned that the decision was made after a considerable duration without mid-contract price alterations, highlighting the industry-wide cost pressures and the company’s commitment to enhancing network infrastructure and customer experiences.
