MrMobile is Michael Fisher’s channel about the phones and wearables that go everywhere with us, and around 1.28 million subscribers follow it. Each of his Surfshark-sponsored episodes lists a link and a code below the video, worth 4 extra months on a 2-year Surfshark plan.
The same VPN is one tap away for about the same money. Surfshark’s public deal gives up to 85% off plus 3 extra months with nothing to type in, and in September 2026 the 2-year Starter plan worked out at $2.49 a month – $67.23 in all.
What MrMobile’s Viewers Get
His latest Surfshark-sponsored video went live on 14 September 2026. The offer in its description comes down to:
- 4 extra months added to a 2-year plan
- A link plus a code, listed under the video
- $2.39 a month on the 2-year Starter plan, according to Surfshark’s page for MrMobile viewers
- Surfshark’s standard 30-day money-back guarantee
How the Two Surfshark Deals Compare
Checked in US dollars in September 2026:
| MrMobile’s link and code | Surfshark’s own deal | |
|---|---|---|
| Starter, monthly price | $2.39 | $2.49 |
| Starter, paid up front | $66.92 (28 months) | $67.23 (27 months) |
| Extra months | 4 | 3 |
| Where to find it | A sponsored MrMobile video | One tap on this page |
| Code to enter | Yes, from the video | None |
| Refund window | 30 days | 30 days |
The two cost about the same, and both come with the same 30-day refund window.
Your Phone’s Trip, Network by Network
Most of what your phone does on a trip runs over networks you didn’t pick. This is where Surfshark earns its spot on the home screen:
- Roaming data and local SIMs – a VPN protects mobile data as well as Wi-Fi, so the protection doesn’t stop when you walk out of range of the hotel router (how VPNs work on mobile data).
- Café, train and co-working Wi-Fi – join, get past the login page, then connect Surfshark. From then on your traffic is encrypted, however many people share the network.
- Tethering the laptop – run Surfshark on the laptop as well as the phone. There’s no device limit, so it costs nothing extra.
- Your apps from home – connect to a home-country server and the streaming and news subscriptions you already pay for should look as they do at home.
- Restrictive destinations – NoBorders mode helps Surfshark connect where networks or governments restrict VPNs; check the local rules first.
One thing the VPN won’t do is shrink your roaming bill. Encryption adds a little to every download, so on a capped travel data plan, leave app updates and long videos for Wi-Fi.
Claiming the Deal From Your Phone
You can sign up on the handset you want to protect:
- Tap Surfshark’s deal page in your phone’s browser.
- Keep 24 months selected; that term carries up to 85% off and the 3 extra months.
- Choose a plan (see below), add your email and pay.
- Install Surfshark from your app store, sign in and connect once while you’re still on home Wi-Fi.
- Log in on your laptop and tablet with the same account.
When an App Doesn’t Like the VPN
Banking, payment and ride-hailing apps sometimes ask for extra checks, or refuse to load, when your connection seems to come from somewhere unexpected. Surfshark’s Bypasser sorts that out without switching the VPN off:
- Exclude an app – the banking app uses your normal connection while the browser, email and messages stay in the tunnel.
- Exclude a website – handy for a local site that expects a local address.
- Route only chosen apps – flip it round and send just the apps you pick through the VPN.
Still getting a warning? Try a server in your home country, so the app sees an address from the country you normally use it in.
Picking a Plan for Travel
| Plan | 2-year price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $2.49/month ($67.23) | The VPN – with Bypasser, NoBorders and the kill switch – plus CleanWeb and Alternative ID |
| One | $2.79/month ($75.33) | Antivirus, Alert breach monitoring and scam protection |
| One+ | $4.49/month ($121.23) | Everything in One, plus Incogni data removal |
A phone-first traveller is well served by Starter. Step up to One if your laptop comes too and needs antivirus, or if you’d like breach alerts for the accounts you use on the road.
Built Into Every Plan
- Unlimited devices under a single login
- 4,500+ servers across 100 countries, P2P welcome on every one
- WireGuard and a kill switch
- MultiHop for routing through two countries, and Camouflage Mode to disguise VPN traffic
- A 30-day money-back guarantee, and headquarters in the Netherlands

Is Surfshark Worth It on the Road?
For a phone that crosses borders, yes. It costs less than NordVPN, covers everything you pack, and the travel tools – Bypasser and NoBorders – come with the cheapest plan.
Pros
- One tap to about the same price as MrMobile’s offer
- Bypasser keeps fussy banking apps off the VPN
- NoBorders helps on networks that restrict VPNs
- Every phone, tablet and laptop you pack on one plan
Cons
- 100 countries to connect from, where NordVPN has 167+
- The headline price needs a 2-year plan
Prefer More Countries? NordVPN
If your trips take you where Surfshark has no servers, look at NordVPN: 8,400+ servers in 167+ countries. Meshnet lets you reach the computer you left at home, and the Complete and Ultra plans add Threat Protection against malicious sites. Its deal gives up to 75% off with 3 extra months, starting at $3.49 a month for 2-year Basic, on up to 10 devices.
Common Questions
Is There a MrMobile Surfshark Code?
Yes, alongside a link. Both appear under his Surfshark-sponsored videos and add 4 extra months to a 2-year plan. Surfshark’s own deal needs no code: open the page and the discount is already there.
What Does MrMobile’s Surfshark Deal Cost?
In September 2026, Surfshark’s page for MrMobile viewers showed 2-year Starter at $2.39 a month. Surfshark’s own deal lists the same plan at $2.49 a month, which works out to $67.23 over 27 months, so the price barely changes whichever route you take.
Does Surfshark Work on Mobile Data When I’m Roaming?
Yes. Surfshark encrypts mobile data just as it does Wi-Fi, whether you’re roaming on your usual SIM or using a local one.
Will My Banking App Work With Surfshark On?
If it objects to the VPN, add it to Bypasser, Surfshark’s split-tunnelling feature. The banking app then uses your regular connection while everything else stays encrypted.
Can I Cancel If Surfshark Doesn’t Work Out?
Yes. Surfshark’s 30-day money-back guarantee covers every plan, so cancelling within 30 days gets you a full refund.
The Verdict
On Starter, MrMobile’s offer and Surfshark’s own deal are ten cents a month apart. With no sponsored video to hand, get Surfshark’s deal in one tap and have your phone ready before the next trip, with 30 days to change your mind.
