There are numerous options when seeking a U.S. cell phone service. Many cell phone companies provide a variety of contract, pre-paid, and no-contract plans. As a standard rule, cell phone service providers require a U.S. credit card to begin service. However, many cell phone companies will initiate service with a cash deposit. A U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) is not necessary to open an account.
Shopping around and choosing the most suitable phone plan option is always a good idea. Although our office doesn’t provide any specific recommendations, the information below will help you search for a U.S. cell phone. Make sure you know the answers to these questions:
- Are there plans available specifically for international students or scholars?
- What are the differences between contract, pre-paid, and other plans?
- Does the company require a contract for a fixed period? If a contract is required, how long is the contract period, and are there penalties for early termination?
- How much calling, text messages (SMS), and cellular data are included in the plan? Note that U.S. plans usually charge for both incoming and outgoing messages/calls.
- Can I use my own phone? See below.
- How much would it be to buy a new phone with the plans? Do I have to pay for a new phone upfront, or is there a monthly payment option?
- What coverage does the cell phone company provide? Different service providers offer varying coverage.
Finally, you aren't always required to buy a new phone, as you may be able to use your current phone and get a new service plan. Ask the cell phone company for more information.
Using Your International Phone in the U.S. with a U.S.-compatible SIM Card
You may be able to use your home country's cell phone in the U.S. However, check with your carrier to confirm if this is possible. In many cases, there are better long-term options than this, since you may need to pay expensive roaming charges. However, if your cell phone is unlocked, you may be able to use your phone in the U.S. with a SIM card compatible with use in the U.S.
- You should be aware of your phone's network technology (e.g., GSM, CDMA, LTE) and purchase a SIM card compatible with your phone type. GSM is the most common type of network worldwide, and all LTE networks use GSM.
- You can buy SIM cards from major U.S. cell phone providers (including Verizon, AT&T, Spring, and T-Mobile) and many smaller companies such as U.S. Mobile, Mint Mobile, and others.
Money and Banking
When you arrive in the U.S., you should keep your money in a secure location, such as a safe deposit box, if staying at a hotel. Be sure to open a bank account as soon as possible. Americans use a combination of online banking, check writing, and debit or credit cards to make purchases and pay bills.
When choosing which bank is best for you, here are a few best practices:
- Explore your options.
- Ask questions, such as:
- Do you have a minimum required amount to open an account or a minimum daily balance? (we recommend avoiding this)
- Do you have a maintenance fee? (we recommend avoiding this)
- What additional fees do you charge? Are there overdraft fees? ATM fees?
- What do I need to know about online banking?
- What do I need to know about closing my account before I leave?
- Bring the right documents. This may include:
- Your passport with your J-1 Visa
- Your DS-2019 Form
- Your I-94
- Your CSUDH student or scholar ID card
- Check your bank’s requirements online before going in person to open your account.

This ID card is accepted at banks, stores, and other businesses where name and age identification is required. You do not need to pass a driving test, as you will for a driver's license, to receive this identification card, but it holds equal value. You can get a California ID from the California DMV, DMV.ca.gov.
