Hi,

I am an incoming student who will be arriving in August.

I would like some information about choosing a mobile phone carrier and package. I will be based at UIUC (Urbana, IL) for the whole academic year.

I would like to purchase a very basic phone (just for calling/texting) and then buy a month-to-month plan. My budget is around $30/month. I am unlikely to make international calls since I can use emails/skype.

Regards
