<p>My son is a freshman (just dropped him off!) We are wondering if anyone had recommendations regarding cell phone service providers. We've quickly learned that T-Mobile, our family's current provider, does not work well in many spots on campus. A few students said Verizon is generally better? Or AT&T? We appreciate any tips. Thank you!</p>
<p>We have ATT and DD had a little trouble in her first dorm. In her second dorm, she got no voice service, but could text. In this year’s room, service is perfect so far. She has never had problems outsde. </p>
<p>Most of her friends have Verizon, but we had just signed a new contract after moving right before she left for school. If you are getting a seperate contract, I’d go with Verizon.</p>
<p>Verizon has the best service on campus (including in dorms).</p>
<p>I have AT&T and have rarely been able to make voice calls or send texts from my dorm room. Some academic buildings are better, but I usually have to go outside to use the phone with any reliability. Verizon is widely considered the best mainstream service provider on campus.</p>
<p>Daughter has Verizon and no problems in two different dorms and now off campus housing.</p>
