Hello
I was wondering what phone carriers are the best at Scholl. I have verizon and I heard it was crummy. Is AT&T good there by any chance?

Sprint is by far the best, with T-Mobile being a good second.

I had Cingular when I first got out here and I didnt get reception ANYWHERE on campus... so a couple months ago I switched to T-Mobile and so far its been pretty good. If I had to choose I would stick with T-Mobile for the coverage and for the price.

Not so sure about Verizon though. But I hear its just as bad as Cingular.

I used Cingular (now At&T) when i was there. I actually had great reception, but my dorm was facing the school (301, actually it faced 201, but you understand), so i dont' know what it's like on the other half of the building.

in the actual school, i had only trouble by the anatomy lab, that really sucked cause i worked down there, but at least i had my own office phone (with free long distance, haha!) so i barely used my cellphone down in the "dungeon". No prob in the Rath, definitely had a hard time in the classrooms.

I'd stick to At&T, especially if you are planning to get an iPhone. They will be adding Exchange/Outlook access by the time school starts. jfyi

With Cingular, I never got reception in the pods (where most of the classes are), mail room area, Computer lab (sucked), the farther 1/2 of the library, barely in Rhodes Auditorium, none at the gym or G-labs, and nada down in the dungenous cadaver lab. Reception was fine in the dorms though (I live on 2nd floor)

But with T-mobile... I get reception in all of those places. Even "parts" of the dungeon! haha
