Millions of Sky Mobile subscribers will experience an increase in their monthly bills starting next month following a newly announced raise. The majority will witness a £1.50 uptick per month, totaling an annual increase of £18, though individual variations may occur.
Starting from February 14, 2026, customers will notice the adjusted pricing in their bills. This adjustment signifies the first price alteration for in-contract Sky Mobile customers in over seven years. Should customers be dissatisfied with the price hike and are within the minimum contract term, they have the option to terminate their package without incurring an early termination fee.
The cost of the Sky Mobile social tariff, catering to those with lower incomes, will remain unchanged. Sky attributed the price adjustment to escalated wholesale network expenses and assured customers that they will be informed promptly if their bill is affected.
According to a Sky Mobile representative, the £1.50 monthly increase for most customers is necessary to maintain the expected quality, service, and value. The decision to raise prices has not been taken lightly, given the absence of mid-contract mobile price increments for more than seven years. The adjustment is a response to industry-wide cost pressures, allowing continued investments in network infrastructure and enhancing customer experiences.
In a similar move, O2 announced a £2.50 monthly increase for nearly all mobile and SIM-only contract subscribers from April 2026, up from the initially planned £1.80 raise.
