Best mobile phone contract for students

Thanks a lot 😊 I'm just a little confused because all our data contracts use Go and in the U.K it's GB, so I'm not sure how much an average person would need.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think GO is giga octet (8 bits) and GB is gigabytes (8 bits) so they are equivalent, no?

Quick bit of advice, if you call companies to negotiate, they usually will, especially if you can find a better deal elsewhere but like a certain company. I got a few hundred quid off of my current contract just by asking

I don't think GB and Go are the same. Standard contracts on the continent are between 30 and 100 Go for teenagers who have WiFi at home and don't use telephones at school. I imagine I'll have WiFi on campus and in the halls, so shouldn't need an excessive amount, but when I see the figures on contracts in the U.K I can't imagine how people manage if it's the same thing.

Are you sure you have that capitalisation right on Go? If yes, then I suppose it is 8 times less

I'm sure about nothing, but my 60Go contract with unlimited calls and texts costs me 11.99€/month. I know the U.K is more expensive but a 60GB contract costs way more,and there aren't many around. So I'm guessing like you that it's divided by 8 for the conversion factor which would make sense given the offers available and the price. Hope so anyway,🤞

I'm coming over to study in the U.K from mainland Europe, and would like to know who is the best service provider for mobile phone contracts. How much would 60 Go, unlimited texts and calls cost per month roughly. I've heard that it's really expensive compared to the rest of Europe. It would cost about £ 10/ month here, so I'm just wondering how much more I should budget for and which provider has the best coverage.

Sim only deals for £10/month you can probably 10+GB data & unlimited call & texts.
for £20 you can probably get 100GB+ data & unlimited calls & texts.Their are good value deals, it just depends how much internet roaming you want really.

Although we live in a world so wifi'd up nowadays you may find your ok with a modest package.

I assume it's the equivalent of Gb, which is 8 times less than GB so the capitalisation probably transfers. That would make sense

I use a combo of both giffgaff and VOXI, one for the Internet one for the texts/calls

So how does that work? 2 SIM cards? and roughly what price?

yes, dual sim phone so 2 sim cards, its roughly 15 gbp
