cell phone plan recs?

<p>What cell phone plans have you found work well in this area? I'm mainly asking as far as reception, but a good family plan with free long distance is important too. Thanks.</p>

<p>Funny you ask...
When I first arrived on campus, went up to my new dorm room in East Halls, my phone did not work AT ALL! My family had just switched to Sprint because it had such a great family plan. So, I definately don't recommend Sprint. My family switched to AT&T Wireless and I have been able to get service just about everywhere. It has been great. I know some of my friends also have Verizon and T-Mobile. The two best seem to be Verizon and AT&T. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>my brother is a current student and i will be there this fall and we have Verizon. it works fine for him.</p>
