What is the best student mobile plan in Sweden?
Which operators offer a student discount, how it works and what to check.
Short answer
Student discounts on mobile plans depend on the operator, and Telia, for example, takes 50 kronor a month off its plans for students and young people under 28. Tele2's own page shows a student offer for broadband but none for mobile plans, so check each operator's price page before you choose.
Why
- Telia says its student discount is 50 kr a month on its mobile plans, applies to students and young people under 28, and does not apply to the 10 GB plan.
- According to Telia, the student plan turns into a regular plan at the regular price when you turn 28.
- Hallon lists mobile plans with no binding period, while Konsumentverket says a consumer contract may bind you for up to 24 months and you must pay for the whole binding period.
Details
Telia's discount is applied automatically at checkout, and Telia lists free calls, SMS and MMS within the EU and EEA in all its plans. For the wider student budget, see whether it is expensive to live in Sweden. Operators are listed under telecom and internet providers in Stockholm.
Tip
If you study in Sweden for only a term or two, check the binding period before you sign, because you pay for the whole period even if you leave.
What may differ
Age matters at Telia: the offer is for students or young people under 28, and the discount ends at 28. Other operators set their own conditions, and campaign prices apply to new subscriptions only.
Common misconception
A student discount lasts as long as you keep the plan.
What actually happens
Telia says the student plan turns into a regular plan at the regular price at age 28.
