<p>To students at Cornell right now -
do most people have verizon or cingular?
which provides more service in Ithaca?</p>
<p>My contract for cingular expires soon, so i was wondering if i should renew it or switch over to verizon.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My friends have either Verizon or AT&T/Cingular. Verizon has excellent coverage....I know nothing about AT&T.</p>
<p>Cingular/AT&T has good coverage.</p>
<p>what about t-mobile. i'm stuck in my contract till may 09</p>
<p>my roomie had a sprint phone...but it didn't work on West Campus so she got T-mobile....and it worked in our dorm but not well on the rest of campus. But...I'm sure things have changed so I'm really not sure :-)</p>
<p>Verizon is excellent. I'd go with that or AT&T
Sprint is terrible as well as T-mobile.</p>
<p>Ranked in Order of Coverage/Clarity/Effectiveness on the Cornell Campus (especially North Campus)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Verizon - Works everywhere on campus, elevators included, there is also a Verizon tower on North, so you get 5 bars up there</p></li>
<li><p>Cingular/AT&T - Almost as good as Verizon. Works just as well as Verizon on Central and in Collegetown, but spotty coverage on North campus. </p></li>
<li><p>Sprint - A joke on North campus, but ok on Central and in collegetown</p></li>
<li><p>T-Mobile - Don't bother. Wayyy too spotty on the Cornell campus. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>So basically, I'd recommend Verizon. Yes, they're unreasonably expensive, but after switching from T-mobile and Cingular plans (long story), I can't go back. I love the convenience of knowing I won't miss a call. Plus, since everyone on campus has it, you get free Verizon-to-Verizon calling. Also, if you sign up for the plan in the mall, I'm pretty sure you get a 19% discount off your monthly bill as a Cornell student</p>
<p>I would recommend Verizon as well. Works great.</p>
<p>okay so, i still am stuck in my t-mobile plan. what do you recommend. paying for two phones? or just paying the early termination fee to t-mobile so I can switch to a provider with better service?</p>
<p>well...if you plan to visit cornell anytime soon you can check out reception while you're on campus</p>
<p>true, but all my money is being saved to actually pay for school, so visiting is not an option unless someone decides to give us a couple hundred bucks</p>
<p>haha....nothing is free when it comes to Cornell....except tuition if your parents make under 75K</p>
