With the Office for National Statistics (ONS) highlighting that half (50%) of students feel they’re facing financial difficulties, Virgin Media O2 wants to help students start their university year on a money-saving high this September.
From ultrafast internet to a market leading 20% off mobiles, Virgin Media O2 is helping students to kick start the academic year while saving money on some of the essentials.
Students looking for a new device so they can study, stream, and stay in touch with friends and family can enjoy 20% off a new phone simply by signing into UNiDAYS, UNIiDAYS GRADLiFE or TOTUM to get a unique online basket code. Those who already have an O2 contract can simply apply the student discount code to their bill by signing into UNiDAYS to get a code and then texting the word ‘STUDENT’ followed by the code to 61202 to benefit from a student discount.
The deal doesn’t stop there as O2 offers a range of additional money-saving perks including:
- O2 Extras, up to 6 months of either Disney+, Amazon Prime, Amazon Audible, Amazon Music Unlimited, McAfee Mobile Security Plus and Cafeyn at no extra cost (depending on the contract they’ve chosen).
- EU roaming (in more than 45 destinations) allowing customers to use their phone while away just as they would in the UK without any roaming charges.
- Access to Priority, which offers exclusive perks and experiences including discounts on cinema tickets and your favourite restaurants. Pick up daily treats, without spending a penny. Plus, get 48-hour early access to thousands of nationwide gigs and events, through Priority Tickets.
