<p>Hi, I'm just about to finish my contract with Cingular, and I was just wondering what students recommend as the best cell phone carrier that gives the best reception in the campus and around Austin. Thanks</p>
<p>Jake - I'm not a student but I go to Austin farely often to visit family. I have Cingular and I have noticed some dead areas (mostly in the far west of the city) but all in all I think it's a good option. It works on campus in the outdoor areas at least. Perhaps someone with experience of using Cingular in the campus buildings can tell you more about it.</p>
<p>i believe t-mobil and cingular are equally gud especually around campus (my sis said she preferred t-mobil becuase they have better customer service when she was there). Other than that, just see who gives you the best deal</p>
<p>Cingular has good service in Austin but there are gaps in coverage to the west and to the north. The coverage map is here: <a href="http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/maps/pop_mapfinder.jsp%5B/url%5D">http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/maps/pop_mapfinder.jsp</a>. The pale yellow areas have no coverage.</p>
<p>only experience i've had is with cingular.</p>
<p>don't go cingular. i've heard good things about t-mobile though.</p>
