Unlimit Mobile Pre‑Departure UK Mobile Service for Indian Students
Unlimit Mobile, the international connectivity brand operated by India‑based travel‑ancillary and licensed telecom infrastructure company Zetexa Global, announced that Indian students heading to the United Kingdom for the 2026‑2027 intake can now purchase, verify and activate a UK mobile number while still in India. The service removes the usual requirement for a UK address, credit check or contract, allowing students to have a live UK number on the first day of their course.
The offering consists of contract‑free prepaid plans delivered via eSIM or physical SIM cards that run on the Vodafone UK network, providing 4G LTE and 5G coverage across major cities and university towns. Prices start at £0.39 per day and include unlimited local calls, unlimited SMS and high‑speed data sufficient for online classes, streaming and navigation. Hotspot and tethering are supported on compatible handsets, enabling a single plan to also power a laptop where Wi‑Fi is unreliable. There is no 12‑ or 24‑month tie‑in and no exit penalty.
Activation is completed entirely online: students check coverage, select a plan, pay and complete a digital eKYC verification from India; the eSIM is installed by scanning a QR code in about two minutes. Physical SIM cards can be shipped to any Indian address before departure, and existing UK numbers can be ported using a PAC code. The service works on any carrier‑unlocked, eSIM‑compatible handset, so no new phone is required.
Pricing incentives include a group discount where five students purchasing together receive 50 % off the first month, and a referral programme that awards £10, £25 or £45 depending on the length of the plan purchased by the referred student. Purchases, renewals and top‑ups are managed through the Unlimit Mobile app on iOS and Android, with 24/7 support across time zones.
Longer‑duration plans also incorporate Zetexa Global’s broader travel‑ancillary stack, offering airport meet‑and‑greet assistance for visiting parents, lounge access in case of flight delays, eligibility for the Unlimit Mobile scholarship and internship programmes, and a multi‑year rate lock that extends the connectivity purchase for the entire duration of the student’s course.
Amit Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Zetexa Global, stated that “the first week of a student’s course is an administrative week, and almost all of it runs through a phone number they do not yet have. Landing with a live UK number means the bank application starts on day one rather than the first free weekday, and everything behind it — accommodation, enrolment, part‑time work — unblocks in sequence.” Srujan Yeleti, Founder and COO, added that because the process is fully online, it is independent of the departure airport, allowing students from Kochi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad or any other city to set up the service on identical terms.
Unlimit Mobile is positioned as a global connectivity brand serving international students, travellers and newcomers relocating to the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. Zetexa Global holds telecom licences across the FCC (USA), CRTC (Canada) and DoT (India) and operates a UK subsidiary, Zetexa Limited.

The company also offers a B2B platform with white‑label, API, reseller and SDK connectivity products for travel, fintech and mobility partners.
