dotmobile - the student mobile network for the UK

Three people recently have talked to me about dotmobile. Every time they’ve referred to the service as ‘the student mobile network’ or words to that effect and I’ve always blurted out ‘Do you mean Blyk?’

Turns out there is a student mobile network — an MVNO — by the name of Dot Mobile. What do I know? I’m getting old.

One reader told me that ‘they’re generally hated in the student community’ — something I found strange. I enquired a little more: “It’s because they have stands in Student Unions and can be very harassing, even after you tell them you’re in a middle of a contract.”

Street teams, eh.

I’m sure they’re not all bad at all. The deals look good. I’m going to put them on my list of people to talk to. Have you come across them?
