Hi guys, good day to y 'all. I am about to go for studies in the US. Here are the highlights of my story:

I returned from the UK on the 31st of January 2015 after completing my masters in Electronics and Communications Engineering. After consulting with my parents, I decided that It will be good to go for a second masters in computer information systems in the US, so I started preparing. However after following this thread for a while now l think I might have committed some blunders:
1) l selected 4 schools all located in Texas.
2) l already have a Masters from the Uk though In a different subject area from the one I am planning to do now
3) 1 haven't really settled down to work. Its been from one academic environment to another. 2000-2006 secondary school 2006-2011 Undergraduate UNN studied electronic engineering , 2012-2013 NYSC, 2013-2014 MSc Uk, 2015 till date: Been Involved in both a professional course on prince 2 foundation and Practitioner and preparing for this my US masters.

The main reason for embarking on this US MSc being l want to have a broad base especially in ICT and Engineering. Don't want any form of employment drawback to my dream Career.
please Guys advice me on this whole Issue. I will be booking an interview date after we have all brainstormed and trashed this my Issue. Expected to resume school as from 18th of August.

Thanks In advance

18th of August which year? If you are actually aiming this year, the closest available date for an interview as at now is 24th August... Unless there's some other way you wanna do it which I don't know

Hi, Zeezahbee! Does it mean that one pays $10 every month for just buying a sim? Please elucidate.

It's now 26th bro... lol. How far with your emergency ish?

MsNas:

Before buying any SIM Card though, make sure you know if it works in your area. My friend bought me a simple mobile SIM card from bestbuy but I didn't have a phone. So when I got my phone and tried activating the SIM, It doesn't walk in my area. That was why I got a T-Mobile SIM card. And if I recall now, I paid $80 at the store somewhere in Houston. I guess it included my first month phone bill, the price of the SIM card and maybe the guy put some extra dollars.

Don't get a phone on contract if you're not ready to keep paying between $80-$120 every month...depending on carrier and also the type of phone you get.

SantaClause:


Yea MAGIJACK. Are you using it?

profojah:

Dicapino!. Can you do it?.The secret behind Kenneth' success is that he fasted for 720hrs(30days),. I' just completed 320hrs, 400hrs more to go..Can you do it?

profojah:

Eeyah!. I never believed it until I heard about Dicapino's case despite his Super-Solid profile. Maybe it depends on the school tho.

Maybe it prefers to crawl..




I kid, I kid.

zeezahbee:
Oya enough of this phone and sim business

No interview transcript today

MsNas:

It's quite different. Such won't work here.

This is because, in Nigeria you can receive calls even if you have no subscription or credit on your phone. Here, if your monthly subscription ends, that is the day you cease to make or even receive calls. You can't receive calls if you don't pay your monthly bill. So for your app to work, you actually have to have call minutes on your line which means paying some money, even if its the lowest plan your provider has.

I don't know about other networks but one of my friends in AR used to use AT&T and her plan was like $25 or $30, can't remember. But the problem was that she was given like 250minutes of talk and unlimited text. Now that's a problem because her talk time sometimes get's exhausted cos they count received calls and also outgoing calls. For people like me who spend hours on the phone calling Nigeria, its a no no.

SantaClause:


Hahahaha what a good laugh...maybe I don't understand because am not there. You know why I would not worry much and this issues like food, electricity and others? Even if I don't have money to pay for them talking to my love ones at home alone will keep me strong and believing I would conquer my difficulties but in the absent of were you cannot even talk to them to give you joy that were depression comes in

I think more transcripts are on the way. Gurus, if one has an uncle that is a doctor practices in another state and the person is studying in another school, can the person use his uncle's health insurance?

This phone plan thing was quite confusing for me when I first got here... It was worse because I came with my blackberry phone. Apparently tmobile is the only provider that still supports blackberry services....I just behaved myself and got an iPhone.

Stewee:

That's weird, because I know Simple Mobile operates on the t-mobile network.

slimmy05:
you should ask if health insurance is transferable, I bet you that schools won't allow international students do that except the school allows you to get your own insurance and of course your name has to be the card.
