735i: Okay..Thanks a lot. One last question please; In addition to justwise's suggestions, coming back for your graduation ceremony is also another cogent reason. As for visiting Dubai, I would suggest that you tread gently. Following the submission of my MSc dissertation last year, I had wanted to visit another country (not UAE though), but the ''6 months'' rule was a barrier. I do not know for sure if the UAE takes this seriously. However, I thought that you shouldn't encounter any form of challenges on your re-entry into the UK in as much as you have always been a genuine student. Cheers bro.. |

The chip cannot be read on POS or ATM machines in the UK. Call GTCONNECT and let them know I know they can send new cards but the charge for courier and they will need you to sign indemnity in case its lost Just use the card and buy stuff online in the meantime if that works If you do decide to request for a new card then use internet banking to transfer your cash into the account that is not linked to gtcard and transfer back when you receive your card. |

kingsilly: Firstly, I dont know when you are arriving. Secondly, I cant guarantee you it is not going to be hectic but its sort of work especially when the uni is resuming on monday. Agents could be your best shot at the end of it all. I suggest you use rightmove, umoove & gumtree for early approach. Dont forget some deposit & reliable UK referee for the accommodation.

Hello people... Kindly help take a look at this... Been having kind of a tough time settling for a mobile plan as I require a plan that gives reasonable data as well as certain amount of minutes to Nigeria. But haven't been able to find any sha(As you cannot have it both ways; it's either a naija plan with certain amount of minutes with no data or a UK plan with data but no given minutes for naija calls).. So i stumbled upon this from Lebara for 12quids p/m: UK minutes - 1000 UK SMS - Unlimited Data - 2GB Lebara to Lebara UK calls/SMS - Unlimited Calls to naija will be charged from my PAYG account at 1p/m and 3p/m for fixed and mobile lines respectively. Anyone enjoying a better plan than this? Because I've been stuck with O2 which I bought at Heathrow out of necessity sake and I need to switch ASAP! |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Emmagency(m): 7:02am On Sep 13, 2014 |
spikesC: Yea.. I'm quite aware of that... I've done a lot of comparison and this looks like the best option and it's a sim-only deal so I should be able to opt out whenever I choose. My question is who is currently enjoying a better deal than this and on which network guys? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by spikesC(m): 12:55pm On Sep 13, 2014 |
Emmagency: No, you can't opt out of a contract unless it's a month contract and most sim-only contracts are 12months long There's a price to pay to opt out of a long term contract |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by DisGuy: 1:37pm On Sep 13, 2014 |
Emmagency: unfortunately as you have stated, you cant have it both way and most of the lyca-lebara-vectone-giffgaff, have a trade off the best you can do is, use it for a month or so, weight you options and move on, it's all dependent on individual usage, uni/accommodation wifi access, etc the good thing is you can always move with you number or pay a bit more and get better options |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Emmagency(m): 3:08pm On Sep 13, 2014 |
spikesC: I get you bro.. I'm sure as hell ain't doing a long term contract.. I'm planning on doing monthly contracts naa ni... I remember you asking a question on mobile plans sometime back...have you settled for any? DisGuy: Thanks man.. |

Well this mobile network matter has been troubling me too for a bit now but here is what I plan to do; Get a sim only deal with lots of UK minutes and unlimited text and unlimited data, then use Rebtel for all my international calls. Rebtel rates to US & Canada is just $0.015 per minute(i.e 1.5cents or 3naira) and $0.069 per minute to Nigeria(i.e 6.9cents or 11.5naira). All I need is enough data to make all my calls, even in the absence of data Rebtel has an access number you can dial with your UK minutes and it connects your call without the use of data. So with all that said, the network provider I intend going for is 3 UK with a sim only pay-as-you-go Add-on like this http://store.three.co.uk/mobile/view/searchSimOnly?tariff=112 I'm open to advice from my bosses tho.
