You need a Ssn for any cell phone contract. No way around this.

Actually, there was an international student in my class and he said that you can get SSN if you have a H2?(I don't remember the exact thing) visa. I thinks that's like the work visa.

Just my 2c

just ask your international student counselor and tell them you need a letter written to the SS office asking them authorize a creation of a SSN number for you to be able to rent a place / open a bank account / work on campus, etc. they should be able to write you a letter that you then give to the SS office, they will then issue you a SSN. Trust me it works.

If I may add, since you don't have a credit history yet if above was done successfully, prepare for an extra $500 (estimate) for deposit prior to activating AT&T service. Credit check
