<p>Hi, Im new here and i’ve been reading the board for awhile…</p>
<p>Anyway… I got my LOA and my family and I will be getting a new cell phone plan eventually, and Im wondering what cell phone service works the best at the Blue Zoo?</p>
<p>We are either getting Cingular or Verzion.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for the help.</p>
<p>Verzion? Must be a cool new hip service. lol ;)</p>
<p>No idea.</p>
<p>Sorry, I ment Verizon... typo</p>
<p>hey... I was totally wondering tha same thing.</p>
<p>Great question! </p>
<p>Something I've wondered for a long time too.</p>
<p>We'll have to wait for some of the cadets to come around.</p>
<p>haha... waiting...</p>
<p>I might just email a cadet, a lot quicker :-)</p>
<p>waiting and the admissions process... goes hand in hand</p>
<p>they must be busy... all those finals...</p>
<p>A cadet i was talking to is a second classer and an element leader. Shes underalot of stress and homework but shes doing fine (think you have to if you want to go there). Random note - the heating in her room wasnt working so it really sucked the past few days with the deep freeze we've been in.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they have landlines to the cadet rooms? Otherwise a cell phone if i go there would be a worthy investment.</p>
<p>my cadre during the summer seminar had a verizon cell phone (he gave me his number, but I deleted it). I think they do not have land lines to the rooms, I did not see one in mine.</p>
<p>Yikes... then a cell phone would be a very worthy investment assuming they still allow them when/if i get there. Seems like something they would do away with a while ago.</p>
<p>(yikes, getting yelled at for posting too fast! Guess thats what happens when you are stressing too much about the academy and cant sleep...Hits on head with bat to pass out).</p>
<p>Maybe it's a priviledge only 1st and 2nd class students can have.</p>
<p>No land lines. 4'th years can have cell phones after basic I believe.</p>
<p>No phones (land line) in the rooms. During I-day they take your cell phone away but then return it to the cadets after BCT. Cingular seems to work the best.</p>
<p>You are allowed to have a cell phone right after BCT; this is a new rule beginning with the class of 07 (my class had to wait until we were three degrees before getting one).</p>
<p>The only land lines in rooms belong to select group and wing staff members, which doesn't mean anything to you your first couple years here.</p>
<p>The cell phone service varies not only by building but wher ein that building you are. A certain service may work fine in one place and not at all in another.</p>
<p>It pretty much the luck of the draw, I have T-Mobile and works fine in most places...</p>
<p>Alright, sounds good...</p>
<p>I'm probably gonna end up with a Verizon, so I hope that works out the best...</p>
<p>Oh, have you cadets heard any other cadet moaning that they have verizons?</p>
<p>I really do not like cell phone service. I dont have a cell phone and i prefer land lines 100 times more than cell phones. Cell phones are convient, but compared to land lines nothing close. Wish they had them in the rooms.</p>
<p>Anyone know if we could use the interw3b service for VoIP? I know thats getting pretty picky and if i ever got there it would be the LEAST of my wories... but now just curious.</p>
<p>Squawk, I have Verizon and it works fine everywhere I've tried it.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot surfnkid, your a big help!</p>
<p>As far as I know, you cannot use the network for VOIP. I've thought about that, but according to the CSP, this is a "government owned network, and not for your own personal use or entertainment" so I doubt they'll ever allow it, as they're even trying to get rid of AIM. So it's pretty much cell phone or pay phone.</p>
