Computing and mobile phones Get Connected

See this page for a list of computing resources available to Penn students through Penn Information Systems and Computing (ISC). 

Cell phone carrier companies have different plans in terms of how many call minutes you can use each month, how much data you have available, and how many text messages you can send. Choosing the right plan can be difficult, but it's important to choose wisely so you don't end up paying too much money and that you are aware of any fees.

There are two main options: Plan or Prepaid

Plan
Many cell phone providers offer plans that involve signing a contract, typically for 1 or 2 years in length. Be aware that there are fees for ending a contract early. Make sure you clarify all terms of your contract before you sign.

Prepaid
Another option is a prepaid plan, where you pay monthly for the minutes and texts that you use. Most cell phone providers offer prepaid plans.
