Sky Mobile, voted  Network of the Year by  Uswitch, has  today  announced that  customers  can share their spare data with someone they  know who may need it, by  adding  a free Sky Mobile SIM* to their account that they can  gift  to  friends and family.    

Available  from  today,  10th  February  2021,  Sky Mobile customers  will  be able  to add an extra SIM  to their account and top it up with their  spare  Piggybank  data  to share with others.

Since the first national lockdown, Sky Mobile customers have been saving more data than usual, rolling over a sizeable 69GB** on average into their Piggybank. So, whether it’s to provide a helping hand for those without access to Wi-Fi, to help someone who’s running low on data or to ease Wi-Fi demands  for those  working  or learning  from home, customers will be able to share their unused data with others.    

Paul Sweeney, Managing Director of Sky Mobile comments: “We know lots of people have rolled over spare data over the past year so we’re making it possible for them to share it with someone who really needs it. Whether that’s giving data to a grandparent to stay connected or to help others who are home schooling, we hope this free SIM will go some way in providing a much-needed data boost.’’  

To add a free Sky Mobile SIM and begin sharing spare data with others, customers can simply follow  these  steps  to get started:   

Visit  sky.com/sharemysparedata to add a free SIM to your basket 

When it arrives, follow the instructions on the SIM pack to active it

Once activated you can give it or send it to anyone you want, ensuring current government guidelines are adhered to  

Start  sharing  your  spare  data  from your Sky Piggybank  with  the new SIM  on the My Sky App 

Unlike other network providers, Sky Mobile lets their customers keep all their data for up to three years. Every month any spare data rolls into your Sky Piggybank ready for you to use later or share with family. Spare data can be shared with up to 7 SIMs on the account or can be exchanged for rewards, like accessories or money off a new phone.
