<p>Is there one company that gets better service at Colby?</p>
<p>Our family has AT&T. My Colby student has no problems with his phone while at school but it is a basic flip phone, no internet etc. When I am there with my IPhone I have very sporadic service and often cannot get calls for hours at a time. That being said, I would be very careful if you have get AT&T and want to use a smartphone
Look at the AT&T coverage map</p>
<p>I have ATT for my iPhone. Lets just say I want verizon to pick up the iPhone ASAP.</p>
<p>Verizon has better 3G coverage in Maine than AT&T.</p>
<p>Verizon coverage is stellar on the hill. If you’re into AT&T for the iPhone, check this out:</p>

<p>It’s supposed to hit the US any month now.</p>
<p>What about T-Mobile?</p>
<p>yeah im realllly hoping the new 4g iphone goes to verizon after hearing at&t gets bad coverage in Maine.</p>
<p>I’ve lived in Maine my whole life, traveled around the state – definitely get U.S. Cellular. You can be in the middle of a lake and still get service.</p>
<p>Trying to decide whether to upgrade to a smart phone for my son. I’ve actually been encouraging him to consider getting an iPhone. Money is pretty tight though and here’s my question: Would it be workable to use an Itouch with the campus wifi instead in order to save the monthly data plan charges? (And just keep the non-smart phone?)</p>
<p>^that’s exactly what I’m doing</p>
