📳🤳Welcome to UC Irvine Series #1: Mobile Services Infographics in the United States!

📲 Most anteaters say their top 3 essentials for entry to the USA are their passport, wallet, and their smartphone. A phone plan may be the first thing you look for as you plan to arrive in Irvine.

📲Start your research with these questions:

📶 What carrier options are available?
📶 Do I need to be locked into a long contract?
📶 eSIM vs. physical SIM card comparison

Tips:

📲If you do not already have a Social Security Number (SSN), consider starting with a prepaid plan or look for a shop that takes deposits for postpaid plans

📲 Think about whether you want to use your current phone or purchase a new phone (some may offer a deal for first-time customers)

📲
