Why PSU Students Switch

Made for Your Campus Life

Built for Students Paying Their Own Way

PSU has one of the highest percentages of working students in the PNW. Many pay their own bills entirely. Switching from a $55 carrier plan to $15 per month saves you $480 a year. That's real money when you're balancing tuition, rent in Portland, and a TriMet pass.

Works Everywhere You Commute

TriMet MAX from Beaverton. Bus from Southeast. Driving from Gresham. PSU students commute from all over the metro area. World Mobile connects to the same towers as T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T across all of Portland and the surrounding suburbs.

Simple, Honest Pricing

Pick Your Plan

Every plan includes unlimited calls, texts, and data. No hidden fees. Cancel anytime.

PSU commuter students who spend a lot of time on cellular data (on TriMet, between jobs, etc.) should consider the Standard plan (8GB, $25/mo). Students mostly on campus or home Wi-Fi can start with the Starter plan (2GB, $15/mo).

Switching Is Easy

Keep Your Phone Number

The number one concern students have about switching carriers is losing their number. You won't. Here's how it works.

Same Number, New Carrier

During signup, choose "port my number" and enter your current phone number. World Mobile handles the entire transfer process automatically.

Minutes, Not Days

Most number transfers complete within minutes. Your old service stays fully active during the entire transition, so you never miss a call or text.

Old Carrier Cancels Automatically

Once the port completes, your previous carrier is automatically notified. No need to call them to cancel. Just make sure any device payments are settled first.

Coverage

Full Portland Metro Coverage

World Mobile's four network partners cover 99% of the US. In Portland, that means full signal across Downtown, the Pearl, Southeast, Northeast, Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro, and everywhere along the MAX lines and bus routes. Same towers as the major carriers.

PSU Student Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on TriMet MAX and buses?

Yes. World Mobile connects to the same towers as T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T. Coverage on MAX lines and bus routes is the same as any major carrier.

I'm on my parents' plan. How do I switch?

Sign up for your own World Mobile plan and port your number during setup. The transfer happens automatically. Read our guide on splitting off a family plan for step by step instructions.

Can I use this with a phone I already own?

Yes, as long as your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM. That includes most phones made after 2019. Check with your current carrier if you're not sure whether your phone is unlocked.

What about the built-in VPN?

Every plan includes a VPN at no extra cost. It encrypts your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks, which is especially useful when you're connecting to coffee shop or campus networks.

Is there a cancellation fee?

No. Every plan is month to month. Cancel anytime, no fees, no penalties, no hoops. You can try it for one month with zero risk.
