All of the tablets available on Sky Mobile will give you 4G or 5G network connectivity. This allows you to use the iPad wherever you are, providing there’s a mobile signal available. It gives you a lot more possibilities to use your iPad in more places (e.g. in the car or on the train), compared to a Wi-Fi only iPad which can only be used where Wi-Fi is available.

In addition to being able to use your iPad on-the-go, you’ll get unlimited data for streaming Sky TV included on your plan. There’s also the ability to spread out the cost of your iPad, and to upgrade it any time after the first 36 months or 24 months.

Sky Mobile iPad Deals

When buying an iPad on Sky Mobile, you’ll start by choosing the device you’d like to buy. Every iPad is available on a choice of Swap36 and Swap24 plans (allowing you to upgrade your iPad after either 36 months and 24 months).

The following table shows how much you’d currently pay for an iPad on Sky:

Model	Swap36 Plan	Swap24 Plan
iPad Pro 11-inch (2021 version)	£20/month	£27/month
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021 version)	£25/month	£34/month
iPad Air (4th generation)	£16/month	£21/month
iPad (8th generation)	£10/month	£14/month
iPad mini (5th generation)	£12/month	£16/month

Once you’ve chosen your iPad, you’ll be able to add one of the following data plans to it:

Data Plan	Monthly Price
100MB Data	No extra cost
2GB Data	Add £6/month (free for 12 months on the iPad Air 4 when you buy it together with an iPhone 12)
8GB Data	Add £8/month
12GB Data	Add £12/month
25GB Data	Add £15/month
40GB Data	Add £24/month
60GB Data	Add £30/month

You can change your data plan at any time (e.g. upgrading to a larger plan with more data, or downgrading to a cheaper plan to save money).

The total amount you pay depends on both the cost of your tablet and the cost of your data plan. To give an example, if you wanted the 11-inch iPad Pro with 2GB of data per month, you’ll pay a total of £26/month (that’s £20/month for the iPad and £6/month for your data).

All of the Sky Mobile data plans include unlimited streaming on Sky TV apps and the ability to roll over your data for up to three years.

As a special offer running until the 10th June, customers buying an iPad Air 4 together with the iPhone 12 will receive 2GB of free data every month for 12 months. Both devices will need to be in your basket at the same time for you to benefit from the offer.

Sky Mobile iPad Features

Unlimited Streaming on Sky TV Apps

One major advantage of using an iPad on Sky Mobile is the ability to watch Sky TV and to use Sky applications without it counting towards your download limit.

This unlimited streaming feature is known as Sky Mobile Watch and it’s particularly valuable if you’re also a Sky TV customer. If so, you can watch live and on-demand TV through the Sky Go app wherever you are, without it counting towards the download limit on your plan.

The channels and content you can access will depend on your Sky TV subscription. For instance, you’ll be able to watch Sky Atlantic and Sky One if it’s included in your subscription, along with free-to-air channels like ITV1 and Channel 4. You can also stream Sky Cinema and Sky Sports if you’re subscribed to those services, giving you a library of on-demand movies and live sporting action to watch on your iPad.

As well as being compatible with the Sky Go app, you’ll also be able to use the Sky News, Sky+, My Sky, Sky Store, Sky Kids, Sky Sports, Sky Sports Mobile TV and Sky Sports Box Office apps on your iPad without it counting towards the download limit on your plan. And if you’re not currently a Sky TV customer, you’ll still be able to use the free applications that don’t require a subscription (e.g. Sky News on your iPad).

Data Rollover

When buying an iPad from Sky Mobile, you’ll need to choose a data plan (with between 100MB and 60GB of data per month). At the end of each month, any unused data will roll over and be placed inside your Sky Piggybank. From here, you’ll be able to save your unused data for 3 years, withdrawing from it whenever you need extra data on your plan.

To give an example, you could get an iPad on Sky’s 8GB data plan. If you were to only use 3GB of data in one month, the remaining 5GB of data will be added to your Sky Piggybank. Over time, the amount of data in your Piggybank can grow (e.g. you might have 30GB of data in your Piggybank after the first six months).

Whenever you need extra data on any device that’s connected to your Sky Mobile account, you can withdraw from your Sky Piggybank in 1GB increments. You don’t need to withdraw the data back to the same device. For instance, if you also have a mobile phone or SIM card from Sky, you can withdraw from your Sky Piggybank to get extra data on that device.

As an alternative to withdrawing your data, you can also cash in your unused data for a Piggybank Reward. This can give you a discount on a new phone, tablet or mobile accessory from Sky.

Swap Plans

On Sky, you can get your iPad on a choice of two different plans:

• Swap36 is Sky’s most popular tablet plan. It gives you the lowest monthly cost, with the ability to upgrade your tablet any time after 36 months. For example, the new iPad Pro is available from £20/month on Swap36.
• Swap24 allows you to upgrade your tablet more often. In exchange for a higher monthly fee (e.g. from £27/month for the new iPad Pro). On Swap 24, you can upgrade your tablet any time after the first 24 months.

When you upgrade to a new tablet on your Swap plan, you’ll need to return your old tablet to Sky in good condition. There’s the option to upgrade and to keep your old tablet as well (an extra fee will apply for this option).

5G Coverage

If you’re using the new iPad Pro, you’ll be able to access 5G coverage on Sky Mobile. This is currently available in 193 UK towns and cities, giving you ultrafast download speeds that are five to ten times faster than 4G.

On Sky’s 5G network, you’ll also benefit from a more reliable connection when using your iPad in busy or crowded areas. There’s also a lower amount of latency which should make things feel more responsive.

You can check the availability of 5G coverage in your area using our Sky Mobile 5G coverage map.
