How to use Spotify?
You must have heard that Spotify is not free and charges from users.
No, Spotify is free and available for everyone.
All you need to do is download the Spotify App from APP Store(IOS Users) or download it from Play Store if you are an Android user.
When downloading is done, you need to create an account by clicking the signup button.
Just fill up your info in the signup form, and you’re done; you can use Spotify for Free.
The free plan is limited, Spotify free can skip only six songs in a day, and the songs will play randomly from the selected playlist, and you will experience ads on your screen as well as in your years.
There are premium plans that will get us rid of these limitations.
Spotify Premium Plans:
Spotify has four premium subscription plans in Pakistan, and they are pretty much cheap if we compare them with other countries.
One of the plans is the Student Plan which is the cheapest of all, as you would see in the picture below.
How to get Student Discount from Spotify in Pakistan:
Student Discount is one of the cheapest plans, and it requires only 145PKR per month to purchase a subscription for a year.
For a single month, Spotify Student Discount is about 165PKR, which is still the best deal.
Spotify strictly provides this plan only to the students only.
Things you need to purchase a Spotify Student Discount are Student Card or Tuition Fee Voucher, or a result card.
If you have one of these documents in hand, then you are ready to go.
You need to submit specific information enough for Spotify to confirm your eligibility to get the student package.
This covers your name, legitimate educational institution, email address, date of birth, and other documents, as well as your payment details.
Follow these Steps to verify your account as Spotify student account.
