<p>Any insight into which company provides the best cell phone service in Chapel Hill?</p>
<p>cingular. verizon got better as the year progressed (i think they put a new tower down on south campus) but it still sucked. i think the school has some sort of contract with cingular.</p>
<p>Cingular has worked great for our family members at UNC. Just remember that no matter which company you go with, reception in the middle of buildings can be spotty.</p>
<p>Verizon is ok on campus, but if you get off-campus it gets a bit dicey. I live off-campus in a Carrboro apartment complex and get no Verizon service in my building. It sucks, we had to get Vonage so people could get ahold of me at home. A Verizon rep. said they are placing a tower closer to campus in 2007 (unfortunately too late for me...).</p>
