Question about the £16 Student SIM Offer – 12-Month Contract

hsglk3 — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 11:30:27 GMT

Hi everyone!

I’m considering signing up for EE’s student SIM-only offer of Unidays, which costs £16 per month and includes 50GB of data. However, I’ve noticed that it’s advertised as a 12-month contract, and I’d like to clarify a few things before signing up.I’m likely to only need the SIM until early July 2027, so I may need to cancel the contract before the 12 months are over and I was wondering:

Is this a fixed 12-month contract or a rolling monthly contract?
Am I allowed to cancel early, and if so, would I have to pay an early termination charge?
If I cancel in early July 2027, approximately how much would the cancellation fee be?
Is there any way to get the same £16 student offer on a 30-day rolling contract instead?

Has anyone signed up for this offer or been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experience.Thanks in advance！

A screenshot of the offer, or better still the T&Cs, would be useful here.

But almost certainly, this will be a rolling contract with a minimum-term of 12months. It would be very unusual for EE to offer a fixed-term plan, that implies automatic disconnection.

Early termination fees are usually "remaining term" x "monthly subscription" minus a 4% discount

@hsglk3 :

It'll be a 12 month min. term contract.
Yes but you would have an early termination charge.
With 4 months to go in July you'd have to pay Monthly Fee (£16) x Months Remaining (4), pro-rata to the nearest whole day, of contract term - 4% = ~£61.
Dunno.
