You then need to add a mobile plan on top, the cheapest of which is £1 for 1GB monthly data.This isn’t much, but if you’re connected to Wi-Fi most of the time it might work for you.The total cost of this deal over three years is £936.“You can swap to a new phone anytime after 31 days, or from 24 months at no extra cost,” Sky explains, which is a good perk.You can always pay extra for more data if you need it at point of purchase.

Sky is even offering unlimited 5G data for £19 per month, so that’d be £44 overall.Though Sky has the cheapest monthly price we’ve seen, there is a cheaper overall deal from Mobiles.co.uk, even though the monthly cost is slightly higher.Best iPhone 17 deals: Mobiles.co.uk £799 £29.99 View DealMobiles.co.uk charges you £159 upfront, but the pay off is a £29.99 per month cost after that and a mammoth 100GB plan - more data than most of the cheapest iPhone 17 deals from other retailers.For £29.99 per month and an upfront cost of £159, you can get the iPhone 17 on a 24-month contract with 100GB monthly data, plus unlimited texts and calls.This is 100x more data than Sky offers, and is better value.Not only that, this is only a two year contract rather than three, and when all the maths is done, the overall cost is actually less than Sky’s cheapest deal, at £911.76.

If you can afford the upfront cost, Mobiles.co.uk’s deal is preferable as it gets you much more data and the contract is a whole year shorter than Sky’s.We also have rounded up all the best prices from various retailers for the iPhone 17, iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro.Read next           SUBSCRIBE Invalid emailWe use your sign-up to provide content in ways you've consented to and to improve our understanding of you.This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding.
