What is Sky Mobile’s International Saver?

International Saver is an extra feature Sky Mobile customers can add to their plans. Costing £3 a month, International Saver is designed to save money for those who regularly make calls to friends, family and colleagues around the world. Customers with the add-on pay reduced per-minute rates for calls to a group of countries including Australia, Hong Kong, the USA and Nigeria.

 

How does International Saver work?

International Saver reduces the per-minute and per-text cost of calling and messaging internationally from your Sky Mobile.

Usually, when you dial out to international numbers from your UK mobile you will face huge charges, with call costs of more than £1.75 a minute. Texting can also be expensive, with providers charging more than 40p a text depending on its destination.

With International Saver, you’ll pay just £0.05 a minute and either £0.06 or £0.10 a text to talk with anyone in any of the available countries.

How much could I save? 

The savings are potentially massive, particularly if you regularly make international calls. Here are some examples, based on Sky Mobile’s standard international call charges without international saver. We also included the cost of the add-on itself.

Potential savings:

• If you spend ten minutes a day talking to clients in  Cyprus, International Saver would save you £39 a month.
• If you text friends in Brazil five times a day, you’d save £49.50 a month with International Saver.
• If you have family in New Zealand you call for half an hour a week, International Saver would save you £201 a month.
