Question

I'm not sure about the SSN. I know carriers ask for it, but whether or not they sell it to you, I'm not sure.
As for no credit history, you'll just have to pay a deposit for the device. The amount for the deposit is usually $100 or more. It differs based on credit and carrier.
Most prepaid companies offer the iPhone 6 as well without all that needed info, but you will end up paying close to retail price for the device.

Your best bet is to call and ask, you can buy on eBay for whatever provider you want, assuming they are available on eBay, but keep in mind that without a contract on the phone you will pay full price more then likely

You need to contact a cellular provider to get this answer. They should accept a passport for ID and if you have a permit to work in the US, that should also be sufficient. You may have to put down a larger deposit to start prepaid service. I think that you'd be best served by a cellular provider.

I doubt that you'd be able to go under contract without a social security number. If you can I'm sure a hefty deposit would be necessary which would essentially eradicate any be benefits that having a contract would extend.
