Sky Mobile customers who are out of contract are to see their monthly bills rise from Friday ahead of across-the-board increases by other providers from next month.
Given that Sky Mobile has approximately three million customers, it is estimated that up to one million could see their bills increase.
It comes after inflation-linked mid-contract price rises on phones, pay-TV and broadband were banned by Ofcom, which does not affect Sky, but will affect other broadband customers and mobile users.
Sky Mobile is also increasing the cost of calls to the EU and EEA by 4p to 25p per minute, while calls to the rest of the world will rise by £1 to £3.50 per minute.
“To ensure we can continue to invest in our services and deliver a great experience, the majority of our out of contract customers will see their monthly bill increase by £1.50 in February.”.
