cell phone plan suggestion for intl. student please

<p>Hi I am an international studnet here thinking of getting a cell phone plan. I have been using a pay-as-you go phone which I found costly. Mostly, I will be using my cell phone for recieving calls from my parents in other country and some local calls to my friends here. I am trying to look for the cheapest plan. Any suggestions please????????</p>

<p>Depends on which pay-as-you-go plan you use.</p>

<p>I use Virgin and it’s cheap. It also depends on where your International calls will be going?</p>

<p>I suggest Virgin if you’re in one of their cheap 2 cent minute zone countries.</p>

<p>Thanks, but i meant switching from a pay-as -you-go to a usual mobile plan that is less costly with recieving international calls and also with general local calls. i won’t be using it that much so just want to get the cheapest one.</p>

<p>I think US Cellular has free incoming calls. So, if you don’t make many calls, you can get the minimum plan.</p>
