campusSIMS/Mint Mobile Phone Service (International Students)
Southeast Missouri State University has partnered with campusSIMS for many years to help connect International students with affordable mobile service and to assist them with a plan in place prior to their arrival for mobile service to help them get connected as quickly as possible. Many SEMO International students use this service. We have physical SIM cards from campusSIMS available upon arrival for those students who have phones that are not compatible with eSIM.
Please Note: This is offer is available from
campusSIMS. The university is offering this opportunity as a service to International students and assumes no responsibilty for the service.
If there are questions or issues with the service, students must contact
