As a student, it’s difficult to choose between SIM cards that offer you the best value. So we found out which ones were the cheapest and best for student use. In this world of unlimited data plans and always-on smartphones, it’s important to be careful when choosing your mobile operator.
Why do we pay for our mobile services? Because it’s the only way to get the full benefits of mobile technology. However, there are other ways to get a phone and to use mobile devices in countries where the mobile services are provided for free. For example, the student SIM cards, that are provided in many European countries, enable users to save money and get more data. In fact, some of these offers are very good. To find out more, we have created a list of the most popular and best-selling student SIM card deals in Europe. In this article, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of SIM card deals. You’ll learn how to choose a right to deal and how to use a SIM card in your country.
With our Student SIM Card deals, you get to save on your monthly mobile contract, whilst paying as little as £10 a month. Plus, you’ll be able to make unlimited calls a month before you’re added to a package, and you can continue to use your existing mobile number, so there’s no need to change your number. If you have a student phone, but not yet been added to any of our SIM Card deals, then you can still benefit from these fantastic savings, too. It’s really simple to apply online, so you can take advantage of these student deals in minutes.
If you’re new to the student SIM card market, there’s a lot to learn. We’ll cover what to consider when you’re deciding whether to use a SIM card, what the different SIM cards are, the best ones to go for, and what to watch out for.
Students often have little understanding of mobile services in the UK and have to rely on family and friends to provide their mobile phone service. Most students are unaware of how to get a contract with their network operator or how to set up their phone on their computer. As a result, they have to pay a large premium to their provider for data packages, often more than the cost of the phone itself.
SIM cards are not only for mobile phones. They are also used for other devices. One example is a student SIM card. A student SIM card is a kind of a SIM card that works with the networks of the UK. This means that a student SIM card will be able to work with the UK networks such as Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone. The best thing about a student SIM card is that it’s cheap and it’s easy to use. It’s a good idea to buy a student SIM card if you’re a student who is moving to the UK for a short time or if you are a long-term resident of the UK.

Giffgaff promise to match their members charitable donations, pound for pound. Giffgaff is an old Scottish word for 'mutual giving' and the company maintains that ethos, as much as possible.
5G

Existing 4G Giffgaff SIMs will continue to work.
Giffgaff's 5G, like all their network services, runs on the O Network. O2 rolled out their 5G network access to O2 customers in October 2019.

Giffgaff's mobile phone service is based on O2's network and offers 99% population coverage across the UK.
Customer Service
In keeping with its strapline: ‘the mobile network run by you' Giffgaff's customer service is operated by its own customers, dubbed members, who answer your queries and help you out when you're stuck. Anyone can sign up to be a member. And for their efforts, they'll be rewarded with Giffgaff points, not to mention the satisfaction of helping others.
Giffgaff claims that its team of members allow you can get help at any time, day or night, unlike big mobile networks' call centres that are only open between certain times. And it should mean there's no need to wait in long call centre queues either.
