Sky Mobile to Raise Bills Next Month in First Mid-Contract Hike in 7 Years

Sky says higher wholesale costs prompted the move, with a 30-day penalty-free exit for those notified.

Overview

  • Most plans will rise by £1.50 a month from bills dated 14 February 2026, with about 8% up £1 and roughly 1.9% up £3.
  • Notifications began on 6 January, triggering a 30‑day window to leave or switch without fees once the message is received.
  • Customers on social tariffs are protected with a price freeze, and those who joined, upgraded or changed plans on or after 6 November 2025 are not affected.
  • Money Saving Expert’s Martin Lewis urges recipients to check immediately for cheaper deals and to use the exit right within the deadline.
  • Separately, EE, O2, Vodafone and Three have confirmed their own rises taking effect around April 2026, typically about £2.50 a month or tiered by plan.
