The Office of International Programs has partnered with campusSIMs to offer an easy, affordable cell phone solution to international students. A campusSIMs SIM card is sent to all new international students with their immigration paperwork. Once you have a SIM card simply visit the campusSIMs website to sign up for a plan.

Need a SIM card? You may request one on the campusSIMs website or stop by the Office of International Programs.


Shopping for a Plan

If you choose not to utilize campusSIMs you should keep the following mind when shopping for a cell phone and plan: coverage, monthly charges, minutes offered, required deposit, phone type, contract. The cellular (mobile) companies in Georgetown, KY are Sprint, CricketVerizon and AT&T; however, T-Mobile has locations in Lexington, KY.  Please go to their respective websites for more information.
