which cell phone service has best reception in ann arbor? which ones dont?

<p>which cell phone service is favored in ann arbor, in umich?</p>

<p>I don't know too well, but based on my experience, I got good service from Cingular when I visited. At home in nothern NJ, I get an average of 3 bars. If I'm lucky, I'll get 4. It's sad because my own phone doesn't work well in my own hometown. But when I visited Umich, I never went below 5 bars, and I was able to contact my family easily.</p>

<p>i got nextel, screw cingular lol, although they arent as nice and quite bulky</p>

<p>I have sprint and it works well in Ann Arbor</p>

<p>Verizon works well, even in all the buildings I've been in. A lot of my friends had problems with Nextel or Sprint, especially in the dorm buildings, but I always got great service with Verizon.</p>

<p>well its not like my family lives far away, its 40 miles away...ive used it n e many situations far from the person i need to call and it works fine, just some fyi</p>

<p>how's t-mobile? (in all of the buildings)</p>

<p>I use T-mobile and I haven't had any problems with reception</p>

<p>Cingular works well . Also cingular isn't bulky as any phone works w/ it</p>

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

<p>does cingular work well in the buildings also?</p>

<p>so far, the list of services that work well are...
cingular, t-mobile, and verizon... right?</p>

<p>also, about how many minutes should my plan have?
i know it depends on how much i'll use it but what about you guys?</p>

<p>one last thing, did you guys change your cell phone numbers so you can have an ann arbor area code? is that necessary?</p>

<p>do both tmobile and verizon work well on all parts of campus, including north campus/bursley area? those are the two services i have been looking at.</p>

<p>I just ordered my phone; went with cingular because I got the Motorola V3 Razr for free (retails around $250). If anyone's interested you can get the deal at letstalk.com If you want I can send you a referal and then both of us would get an additional $25 off. If anyone's interested let me know.</p>
