Yep, O2 are pulling out all the stops, on the day that Orange launches the iPhone. First of all we had the new internet tethering offer, then we had the offer to unlock the iPhone for free, and now…. we have free Sky Sports for iPhone customers!
O2 has announced today that the new Sky Mobile TV app, available to all Apple iPhone customers through the App Store, will be available on Wi-Fi free to the first 150,000 iPhone customers on O2 for the first three months.
The app allows customers to watch a live feed of content and usually costs £6 a month, however iPhone customers on O2 can text ‘’SKY’’ to 2020 to download a promotional code which allows them to receive the app for free for the first three months.
Sky Mobile TV includes channels such as Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3, Sky Sports News, Sky Sports Extra, Sky News, At The Races and ESPN and can be accessed via Wi-Fi. All iPhone customers on O2 receive unlimited Wi-Fi in the UK as part of their iPhone tariff.
It should be made clear that not all of the content on the Sky Sports channels is available – WWE, HBO Boxing, MLB, Serie A and NCAA cannot be viewed using the app. That’s a shame, I’ve got say – because I’d have been well up for watching some sweaty men grunting whilst on the go 🙂
