dot mobile recently came to our attention as they offer mobile phone services directly to students. If you are a student - whether you’re on pay as you go deal or a contract,  you can join the student mobile network and get a great deal that will save you valuable cash to spend on Snakey B’s in the Union. dot mobile are interesting because not only are they giving students a better deal, their mobile service allows you decide how you split your bundle between calls and texts as you go along, as well as where you set your spending alerts, when you take any half price line rental.

If you take a look at their special offers below they probably seem a bit too good to be true and you may expect poor network coverage or something - but that is not the case at all. dot mobile runs on the Vodafone network, so you get great call quality and most importanly UK-wide coverage - particularly useful if you are at University in the back of beyond. I wish they had student only mobile phone offers (or even mobile phones!) in my day at Uni so I wouldn’t have had to spend so long queing for the payphone (that smelt a bit odd) with my collection of 10p’s!
