Cell phones at Stanford

<p>I know Stanford recommends using Cingular, but we are currently locked into a family plan on Sprint. I know Sprint works in the Bay area. Does anyone know how their coverage is at Stanford? Is this something I need to be concerned about? Thanks for any advice.</p>

<p>Can I ask the same question but with Verizon?</p>

<p>I've heard that Verizon doesn't get very good reception at the campus. During Admit Weekend, I did have a few reception problems with my cell phone, but that was primarily indoors (especially in the dorms). It worked fine everywhere I went outside, but I was only there for a few days, so I can't really tell you with absolute certainty how well Verizon works.</p>

<p>I know someone must be using Sprint. Does it work on campus? Thanks for any input.</p>

<p>My son used Verizon at Stanford, since that was the family plan that we had. It was not great, but he managed. Often it would not work indoors, so he had to go outside when he called home. Outside it seemed to work fine.</p>

<p>Same here re Verizon--fortunately it's a good place to go outside!</p>
