Sky Watch Data usage

SHADYADY — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:08:07 GMT

Last two bills show a large amount of Sky Watch data used outside of my mobile plan. I have no idea why. I typically use 0.5- 2.9 gb of my 3gb plan each month. Nothing has changed, but account now shows 9gb of Sky Watch data used.

Do you watch content from the various Sky apps like Sky Go or the Sky Sports one as I am wondering if it is to do with this. If it is you should be "charged" anything other than a tiny amount for some adverts.

If you are not a Sky TV customer then Sky watch does not apply to you as it gives Sky TV and Mobiles customers data free access* to content from Sky apps like Sky Go and the Sky Sports app.

* apart from a small amount for some adverts.

i had 40GB for years never used 20GB of it then they offered me a discount as i never have a signal or data outside wifi - now im going over the 40GB and it is saying im using roaming sky watch data I do not watch things of=n my phone unless in bed on wifi, i dont stream I have no idea why. Customer service here is the worse ive ever had. I was on live chat for an hour then the guys said im going for my break ill be back in 15 mins (mid conversation / complaint) left m,e on the phone for 15 mins i couldnt believe it, i said i hope this call is recorded cos im sure your not taught to leave a customer on a phone whilst you have a 15 min break. Wish i never went with SKY It is so much money a month for zero customer service, zero signal and zero internet. But the funny thing is my data is being used when i cant use my phone its absolutely waco im going to go financial ombudsman bow i need out of this comtract. I cant even load maps half the time u have no idea how annoyinh this is. I pay for a service i should recieve it.

No but i used to work for Vodaphone WIFI takes over the mobile data if wifi has a moment it may use data for a minute its certainly not 40 GB I dont stream, dont watch insta or FB, all my music is downloaded on my phone for my car, all background app refresh is off, only play videos in wifi on. I do know what i am doing. They tried telling me must be my phone cos the signal checker was strong.. i said well if it was it wouldnt work in wifi would it?? It is SKY signal its so bad. All my staff have signal everywhere i have to hotspot my staff its a joke theyre on EE, Tesco and O2 constantly use their phone, i cant even load maps.

So i went on settings mobile data and changed from 5G to 4G still **bleep** but ya know what i pay for 5G it scandalous they can make u stay in a contract with a service that doesnt work but ur 1 hour late paying straight to equifax.

I just cannot stand peopke taking my money with no **bleep**s given in trying to help u turn phone on n off i mean come on i want a phone that connects and i can use i have another 2 years at £71 a month. Yh im reporting them ive just had enough now they cant even be **bleep** to talk to ya, just take ya money wether ur products works or not
