<p>We have ATT family plan (we’re in California), and it works … OK. D has complained in the past that there are some spots on campus where the reception is not so good. However, we have managed to stay in regular touch with her, by text and with regular phone calls, just fine. She does not have a landline in the dorm, although I understand landline phones are available to students who want them. We have had several lengthy cell-to-cell phone calls with her in her dorm room, and have not had problems with dropped calls or bad connection. We all have old flip phones, no smart phones yet in this family. She’s not complaining or asking for a new phone, so … for now, we’re not seeing the need to switch carriers.</p>
