Prepaid vs. postpaid
Most new international students start with a prepaid plan (Mint Mobile, Visible, or T-Mobile prepaid) since it doesn't require a US credit history or SSN.
What to bring
Bring your passport and, if you have one, proof of your Rutgers enrollment. Some carriers offer a small student discount if you ask.
