Sky Mobile offers Samsung Galaxy Note8 at the UK’s lowest monthly price with no upfront cost

Wednesday 23 August 2017

Sky Mobile has today announced the Samsung Galaxy Note8 is now available to pre-order with customers able to get their hands on the phone at the UK’s lowest monthly price with no upfront cost compared to all other UK mobile providers. 

Prices start from just £38 a month on a Sky Mobile Swap24 plan, including 500MB of data and free Unlimited Calls and Texts for Sky TV customers. 

For an extra £12 a month customers can swap their phone after 12 months so they can get the latest phone every year with Swap12.

Liz Wynn, Sky’s Director of Mobile, said: “The new and highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note8 will join Sky Mobile’s line up of the latest phones, and once again offers customers the UK’s lowest monthly price with no upfront cost. With Sky Mobile, data is yours to keep for up to three years and you can change your plan every month, giving you flexibility to choose how much data you need and how much you pay.” 

Combining quality design with the latest cutting edge technology, the Samsung Galaxy Note8 is a powerful device for people who want to do bigger things. It boasts an ample 6.3” dual curved QHD+ Super AMOLED display that lets people see and enjoy more of the things they love, two 12MP rear cameras with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), and Samsung’s enhanced S-Pen, with a thinner tip and greater sensitivity. 

Customers who pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Note8 between 23rd August and 14th September 2017 can also claim a free DeX station, worth £139. The DeX station allows users to transform their mobile into a desktop, making it easy to reply to emails, edit photographs and create documents on-the-go, without needing to carry a heavy laptop around. 

The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is available on all Sky Mobile plans.
