Sky Mobile has added 4G capable tablets to its range, with selected Samsung models available on 24 and 36 month contracts from today and Apple’s iPad coming “soon”.
The network is offering what it claims to be “the UK’s lowest monthly prices with no upfront costs” on some models and says customers will be able to roll-over unused data every month.
Customers can also share rolled-over data between five different SIMs in the household, allowing families to share data on both tablets and mobiles.
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 family’s tablets and mobiles.
“We launched Sky Mobile to shake up the mobile sector, and we’re now bringing that same flexibility and the UK’s lowest monthly prices to the tablet market.”
