Double your data: Our best student SIM only deal for international students

Being a student can be hectic. You’re always on the go, and you need an affordable data plan that can keep up with your busy lifestyle. Plus, if you’re an international student living in the UK, you’re probably going to need a little more data to keep in touch with your friends and family back home.

Luckily, giffgaff has you covered, with an exclusive student SIM only deal to carry you through from Freshers to summer finals.

Double your data with giffgaff

Between July 14th to November 30th, students can get 40 GB of data for £10 per month with their monthly rolling plan. That’s double the data for a terrific £10.

Once you sign up, you’ll be able to get double data on our £10 monthly rolling plan for 12 months. And if you want something different, you can leave or change to another plan at any time. And after November 30th, this promo will be gone, so don’t miss out.

All students at UK universities or colleges are eligible for this exclusive student SIM only deal. All you need is a student.ac.uk email address to activate your SIM.

For just £10 a month, our exclusive student SIM only deal includes:

• 40 GB data
• Unlimited texts and calls powered by O2
• 5 GB EU roaming data
• Keep your number
• Cancel your plan at any time, no fees attached
• Bring your mates on board and get £5 Payback. Cha-ching.

But wait, there’s more. Order your student SIM card online, and you’ll get a bonus £5 credit when you activate your SIM. Handy for international students making phone calls home, don’t you think? See our international call rates here.

How much does 40 GB get you?

40 GB sounds like a lot, right? Well, don’t just take our word for it. Here’s exactly what that 40 GB of data could get you each month:

• Searching the internet: You could browse the web for about 480 hours with 40 GB of data. Which is about 20 hours per week for a month.
• Using WhatsApp and instant messaging: 40 GB lets you send around 14,000,000 messages via WhatsApp or instant messaging. So you could send and receive messages all month without wiping out your data plan.
• Streaming videos: The amount of data your streaming service uses depends on the speed, video quality, and platform you use. But on average, we’d say 40 GB should see you through about 80 hours of streaming. So you could watch about 3 nail-biting hours of Succession per day for a week.
• Streaming music: Enjoy around 160 hours of streamed music, or 6 hours of music per day for a week.
• Using social media: On average, you get about 240 hours of social media scrolling with your 40 GB. This means you could use social media for about 10 hours per week for a month. Just think of all that TikTok-ing.
