Want to know what the best phone contract for students is? So did we. So we asked them. We surveyed 250 students on our Student Hut Opinion Panel to bring you the best student essentials. Students ranked the best phone contracts out of 10, on things like price per-month, data allowance, rewards and network coverage. Here are the top phone contract recommendations for students, by students.
