Vodafone Student Discounts

A SIM only deal gives you an allowance of data, minutes and texts, all on one SIM card. We offer 12-month and 30-day SIM only plans and Pay as you go SIMs.
Just insert the SIM into any Vodafone mobile phone, or one that's not locked to a different network, to get started.
If it's a new SIM card, you can follow our SIM swap instructions for setting up and keeping your current number.

Choosing a SIM only plan has a number of benefits. It's perfect if your Pay monthly contract has just ended and you want to reduce your monthly costs while you wait for your ideal next phone.
Or if you love the phone you've already got and see no reason to change it, you can continue to use it and enjoy the flexibility SIM only offers.
For an even more flexible option, choose a 30-day SIM contract. If you change your mind or want to upgrade to another phone, it’s up to you.
Opting for a 12-month SIM only contract means you can enjoy even better value 4G data, calls and texts, with cheap SIM only plans starting from under £15 a month.
But you won't be tied down - you can upgrade to a Pay monthly contract with a new device after just 3 months of your SIM only contract.

All our SIM only plans come with 5G as standard.
If your phone is 5G-compatible, and you're in an area covered by our 5G network, you'll be able to use it.
In other areas, you can use our 4G network.

Yes you can, but charges vary by destination and what’s included in your plan.
For example, you can use your UK allowance of data, minutes, and texts while abroad (in line with our fair use policy) with selected Xtra plans.
If your plan doesn't include roaming, you can buy a roaming pass to reduce the cost of using your phone abroad.
For more information on roaming passes, roaming with us, and the cost of using your phone abroad, visit our Vodafone roaming page.
