<p>Son will be a freshman at UB this fall. Family is on Long Island, New York and in Brooklyn, New York. </p>
<p>Our current cell plan is expiring next month and before I renew or choose something else, I was hoping a current student or parent of a current student could offer any input about what services work/son't work there? How about Virgin Mobile?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>It’s a pretty populated area, I’d imagine they all work. I have a friend with Virgin Mobile, although their coverage is generally bad, it works fine in the UB area. Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc all have good coverage around UB.</p>
<p>For Western New York in general, including the less populous areas, Verizon has the best coverage.</p>
<p>D just finished her junior year, has had AT&T all three years so far, and has never had any issues with cell service at UB.</p>
<p>Any sprint plan that includes roaming will roam on verizons network. Virgin mobile uses sprint’s network iirc.</p>
<p>Thank you all for the info!</p>
