<p>GRP: While this can be a costly risk, and depending on the age of his phone, a new phone may help substantially. The newer iPhones/Androids have better antennas in them these days and they keep improving.</p>

<p>FWIW, mileage varies all across grounds. I brought this up with a friend who went down to Cville every other weekend for grad school this past year knowing he has Verizon. He said that in the depths of the e-school & Brown library Verizon still doesn’t have service, but he had better service than some up on North Grounds.</p>

<p>In the end, I’d still recommend AT&T or Verizon (whichever makes more sense, I wouldn’t spend any extra $ than I would have to in order to get one over the other), or possibly a phone upgrade on Sprint</p>

<p>Thanks shoe. I agree. Since he’s due for a phone upgrade anyway in a month the cost of a new handset will be the same across the board so that’s a wash. If I can get him on my business plan on Verizon that would make moving to VZ only $10/mo more than he costs me on Sprint - probably worth it to do that rather than to commit to a 2yr risk with Sprint.</p>

<p>Agreed. The fact that people can’t switch from carrier to carrier without penalty for a good reason like this makes these companies a total scam. Good luck!</p>
