i recall reading somewhere that verizon i think gets terrible reception at stanford? what other companies besides cingular are good at stanford? i'm looking at t mobile right now, it looks like it might be cheaper than cingular, but i'm not sure if i'll get good coverage, which would be completely useless

I had T-Mobile at first, but it was worse than Verizon. They kept saying they were going to be rewiring the network to share with Cingular, but they never did while I was with them. I don't know if they have now. All I know is they kept telling me, "It will work soon," "It should work now," "It's supposed to be working," and it never worked. So proceed at your own risk.

I have a few friends with T-Mobile on campus.

They're always complaining about how bad their service is. Pretty much end of story.

In my experience, Verizon was fine as long as you weren't actually inside a building - but if you're inside, then you should be in class and not receiving phone calls, right? =O) It really depends on the building - basements were out of the question, but the upper floors were usually okay.

I don't have experience with other providers, but scuttlebutt says that Cingular gets better reception than Verizon.

Have you looked into the special Stanford deals that Cingular has for students? I can't imagine T-Mobile being much cheaper, if at all, after the deal.

oh, it is. tmobile is all around a better deal and a better service. I was so sad and my wallet was hurting bad when i had to switch. I used to pay $20 a month . . . :(

i was looking at cingular's family plan thing, since we need 2 lines. for that, t mobile ends up 2.50 cheaper a month, which isn't much at all, so just wondering if service is good enough to go for tmobile instead

I use an old AT&T family talk plan through Stanford. I guess the deals now aren't so good.
