Fixing Sky Mobile Mobile Data on OnePlus
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network → Mobile data. Turn mobile data off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. This forces a fresh data session with Sky Mobile.
Hold the power button and tap Restart. A full restart clears the radio stack and re-registers the SIM on the Sky Mobile network.
Swipe down for Quick Settings and ensure Airplane Mode is not active. Even a brief Airplane toggle can clear a stuck data session.
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network → Access point names and confirm the Sky Mobile APN value reads: skydata.sky.com. Incorrect APN settings are the most common cause of mobile data failure.
Call Sky Mobile support on 0333 759 0000 or log into the Sky Mobile app to confirm your account is active, your plan has data remaining, and no spending cap is applied.
If data still fails, perform a network reset via Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth. This clears all saved network configuration and re-provisions Sky Mobile settings from scratch.
Visit Sky Mobile's status page or search 'Sky Mobile network outage' to confirm there is no service disruption in your area affecting Sky Mobile mobile data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Sky Mobile mobile data suddenly not working?
Sudden Sky Mobile mobile data failure is usually caused by one of four things: account suspension or spending cap, a temporary Sky Mobile outage, APN settings corrupted by an update, or Airplane Mode having been toggled. Check the Sky Mobile app first, then your APN settings.
Does restarting fix Sky Mobile mobile data?
Restarting your OnePlus fixes mobile data in approximately 40% of cases. A restart clears the radio firmware and forces a fresh Sky Mobile data session. If it does not fix the issue, the cause is APN settings, account status, or a network outage.
How long does Sky Mobile mobile data outage last?
Most Sky Mobile mobile data outages are resolved within 2–4 hours. Major outages may take longer. Check Sky Mobile's status page or social media for live updates. If there is no outage reported, the issue is specific to your account or device.
