Daughter just completed freshman year, and the verdict from students on cell carriers is that Verizon is far and away the most reliable. She was on our Cingular family plan to start with and was constantly borrowing her friends’ verizon phones because the Cingular phone would cut out or not connect at all. The closer you got to Colonial Wmsburg the better the Cingular coverage would get, but there were problems inside buildings and at various spots off campus and on the new campus. We worked with Cingular on changing towers, updating the simcard, etc., but nothing helped. Threw in the towel and got her her own Verizon line during fall break. No problems since then.
