How the Student Discount Works

  1. Verify Your Student Email

    Enter your university email address above. Any academic address like .ac.uk, .edu or .edu.au works. We use it purely to confirm you're a student; there's no sign-up form and no ID upload.

  2. Receive Your 10% Code

    Your one-time discount code lands in your university inbox within minutes. It's unique to you, valid for 30 days and works on any eSIM plan we sell, including plans already on sale.

  3. Apply It in Your Basket

    Pick a destination, add an eSIM to your basket and enter the code in the promo box. The 10% comes straight off, you pay securely, and your eSIM is delivered by email instantly.

Why Students Choose a Travel eSIM

Whether it's an Erasmus exchange in Spain, a semester abroad in the US, a backpacking summer through Asia or just flying home for the holidays, roaming charges eat into a student budget fast. A travel eSIM gives you a local data plan the moment you land. No physical SIM to swap, no contract, and your WhatsApp number stays the same.

  • Instant delivery: your eSIM arrives by email and installs in minutes
  • 190+ countries: single-country, regional and global plans
  • No contracts: buy exactly the data and days you need
  • Keep your number: your UK SIM stays active for calls and texts
  • Top up anytime: extend your data without buying a new plan

Who Can Claim the Discount?

Anyone with a working academic email address can claim. That includes university undergraduates and postgraduates, college students, PhD researchers and exchange students. Your institution's address just needs to end in an academic domain such as:

  • .ac.ukUK universities and colleges
  • .sch.ukUK schools and sixth-form colleges
  • .eduUS colleges and universities
  • .edu.au, .edu.cnand similar international institutions
  • .ac.nz, .ac.jpand similar academic domains worldwide

One code per student email, single use, valid for 30 days. The discount can be used together with our sale prices but not with other promo codes, token discounts or referral credits.

Student Discount FAQs

  • How do I get the SimplySIM student discount?

    Enter your university email address in the form on this page (or in your basket). We'll email you a one-time 10% discount code straight away. Enter that code in the promo box in your basket and the discount is applied to your order.

  • Which email addresses qualify?

    Any working academic address: UK addresses ending .ac.uk or .sch.uk, US addresses ending .edu, and international academic domains like .edu.au, .ac.nz or .edu.cn. If your institution doesn't use an academic domain, contact our support team and we'll help.

  • How much do I save, and on what?

    The code takes 10% off your whole basket: any destination, any plan size, including plans that are already on sale. It can't be combined with other promo codes or affiliate token discounts.

  • Can I use the student discount more than once?

    The code is single use, and each student email can claim one code. Make it count: you can put several eSIMs or top-ups in the same basket and the 10% applies to all of them.

  • How long is my code valid?

    30 days from the day it's emailed to you. If it expires unused, just request a new one with the same university email.

  • Do I need a student ID card or UNiDAYS account?

    No. Verification is done entirely through your university email address: no ID uploads, no third-party accounts, no waiting for manual approval.

  • Will my eSIM work while studying abroad?

    Yes. We cover 190+ countries with single-country, regional and global plans. For a semester abroad, a large single-country plan is usually the best value; for multi-country travel, look at our regional and global eSIMs. Check your phone works with eSIMs on our device compatibility page.
