<p>what’s the best service at upenn?</p>

<p>good question.</p>

<p>I'd say it's NOT Verizon ... over in Center City I often don't have reception, and unlike in DC, it doesn't work on the subway.</p>

<p>Cingular seems pretty good for me.</p>

<p>what about Tmobile?</p>

<p>I have T-mobile and it seemed to work pretty well allover the East Coast while I was there. It works well everywhere.</p>

<p>Tmobile kind of sucks.</p>

<p>lol..good thing we can all agree...</p>

<p>....bump?...
ive heard cingular is very good along with verizon but..</p>

<p>verizon is bad in downtown philly
and from personal experience cingular was just awful in the princeton area</p>

<p>Cingular was great for me. Seriously, the service in Philly is amazing compared to rural Maine so i could never complain. If you live in a major city or somewhere with amazing service, you might be more critical of service. I never had a dropped call and had full service almost everywhere. Some people find bad service in librarys and high rises. I noticed bad service in towne building and DRL but i didnt really need my phone during class anyway.</p>

<p>How's Verizon on the campus & West Philly? I still have over a year left on my contract.</p>

<p>none are great, but the best is cingular. verizon sucks. t-mobile sucks more.</p>

<p>hmm...dang...cingulars not an option for me...guess verizon it is...</p>

<p>Sprint? [10 characters]</p>

<p>i was down at penn with my phone and i had good reception...i have a verizon...on a samsung which i always have good reception with that phone...i hated cingular when i had it</p>

<p>has anyone had any trouble with Tmobile specifically in the dorm rooms...more specifically in the quad?</p>

<p>Cingular is the best.</p>

<p>Plus as a Penn student you can get a special discount off your monthly bill and I think no activation fee</p>

<p>hmm really? what if i get my service from columbus, OH lol.......as in i already have cingular</p>

<p>JohnnyK, I'm planning on switching from T-Mobile to Cingular either before or after getting to Penn. Can you give more info about the Cingular discount?</p>

<p>Judas, you can go to <a href="http://www.cingular.com/discounts%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.cingular.com/discounts&lt;/a> and get the discounts applied to your account.</p>
