Sky Mobile launches tablets with data rollover and UKs lowest monthly price on new Swap36 plan
10/04/2018
From today, Samsung tablets are available on Sky Mobiles Swap plans. An all new Swap36 plan gives customers the UKs lowest monthly prices with no upfront costs on popular tablet models, such as the Samsung Tab A 10.1 from £13 per month with 500MB of data. Apple tablets will also be available on Sky Mobile soon.
The most flexible tablet contracts - Roll and Mix
Sky Mobiles unique benefits, Roll and Mix, will be available to all tablet customers.
With Sky Mobiles Roll, any unused data is automatically rolled into a customers Sky Piggybank at the end of every month and is saved for up to three years. Theres no limit to the amount they can store, and they can simply dip into their Piggybank whenever they need a data boost.
Sky Mobile is the first UK operator to offer data rollover on tablet plans. This is useful for those customers who occasionally use their tablet out of the home but do not want to opt for a plan with a high amount of data they will not use. Since launching Sky Mobile in January last year, Sky Mobile customers have collectively saved £26 million worth of mobile data with Roll*.
With the new tablet plans, customers can also share the data stored in their Piggybank between five different SIMs in the household. This means a family can share data between family members, on both tablets and mobiles, with data given to those who need an extra boost.
Sophia Ahmad, Director of Sky Mobile, comments: This is the first time any network has allowed customers to rollover their unused data rather than lose it at the end of the month, and then share it between an entire familys tablets and mobiles. We launched Sky Mobile to shake up the mobile sector, and were now bringing that same flexibility and the UKs lowest monthly prices to the tablet market.
With Mix, customers will be able to choose the plan that fits their needs, with prices from £5 per month for 500MB, and 1GB, 5GB or 10GB available for £10, £15 and £20 respectively. As with phones, tablet customers can change their plan each month, up or down, depending on how much data they need.
Swap plans for tablets
Sky Mobile is launching a new Swap option for tablets, Swap36. Swap36 has been designed to reflect how often customers choose to upgrade their tablet, with a longer upgrade cycle than phones. With Swap36, customers can get Skys lowest monthly prices and the option to swap their tablet after three years. For customers wanting to get the latest model more often, Swap24 is also available with any tablet an allows customers to swap to a new model after two years.
Sky Mobile launches with the most popular tablets from Samsung, including the Samsung Tab A series and Samsung Tab S2. Details of Apple tablet availability and pricing on Sky Mobile will follow soon.
