<p>What's a good cheap cell-phone service if I won't call people much, and I'll only speak to people in Cali?</p>
<p>(btw, are there phones in the dorms? do we pay for that?...)</p>
<p>to the second question- no, if you want a phone you must being a cell phone or on move in day request that a phone line be set up.</p>
<p>Cingular...it has great reception</p>
<p>T-mobile was working great whenever i needed it during calso, but i don't know about its cost . . .</p>
<p>What kind of phones will these services work on?
I'm coming from outside the US, and I have a tri Band GSM/GPRS phone.
Is that ok?</p>
<p>I have ATT-Cingular. It works fine, even in my old frat house. I have full bars or almost full bars just about anywhere in Berzerkeley.</p>
<p>miqdad, in the US cell phones are cheap, and often come free with a package, so it's probably not worth keeping your old phone.</p>
