As the title, does anyone knows why Sky has not launched a Mobile Phone service like other companies of course except for Talk Talk and Plusnet?

    There's loads of companies that don't have a mobile phone service.

    Hence why I mentioned Talk Talk and PlusNet, I am sure there are others out there that just do Phone, Broadband and TV without the Mobile Phone service

    Why don't you ask your Sky contacts?

    the answer is probably "why bother".
    unless the invested in their own mobile network then they would just be another virtual network out there in the market and paying someone else to use their network.

    probably not a lot of profit in it.

    now, if they bought O2 from the troubled Telefonica then that might be worth thinking about.

    I think it will at some point, but by taking over another company.

    I think this is a very big possibility

    TalkTalk has a mobile service ( and has done for several years) exclusive to their subscribers and uses Vodafone's network
