<p>My D is a freshman and has AT&T cell phone plan. She is getting very poor coverage in her dorm and around campus. Does anyone have experience with AT&T and which provider is best on campus. Thanks!</p>
<p>My daughter has the same problem. No solution. If you find one, please let me know.</p>
<p>Didn’t have any problems with Verizon.</p>
<p>I haven’t done this myself, but perhaps contact AT&T to inquire about this:</p>
<p>[AT&T</a> 3G MicroCell - Wireless Signal Booster - Wireless from AT&T](<a href=“http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/3gmicrocell.jsp?fbid=UmKUxYEAIBS]AT&T”>http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/3gmicrocell.jsp?fbid=UmKUxYEAIBS)</p>
<p>Great idea IIII. Tell AT&T that you want it at no cost as you will switch carriers if they don’t help you out. I have one at home sent to us no charge as they were worried about losing us due to bad coverage near our home. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Verizon works fine in Newark. We were lucky, I took my D off our AT&T account a few days before she left for school because they wouldn’t upgrade her to an iPhone which I’d promised her she could have when she went off to school. Her 2 years were up, so I canceled her line and opened a single line account for her at Verizon and ported her number over. She has been thanking me profusely ever since. </p>
<p>If you have your student on a family plan and her 2 yrs aren’t up you could cut the service on that line at ATT to the absolute mininmum (until the contract is up) and open a single phone account on Verizon.</p>
<p>Thanks so much. I think I will switch her over to Verizon. We are on a family plan so I will have to see the most economical way to make the switch. Thanks for your suggestions!</p>
