The best carrier for a student is the one that covers your campus, fits your budget, and does not block you for having no credit history. Many students have never built credit, so a postpaid credit check can be a wall. Vouch Mobile runs no credit check for service and has no contract, so you can pay month to month around your semester. Campus Wi-Fi often does most of the work, and WiFi calling helps in dorms with weak signal. Before you choose any carrier, check coverage at your campus and home addresses.
