Going to Purdue and need a cell phone.

[megatexel]

I was considering Cingular wireless since they have good reception back home where I live (the thumb of michigan).

What is the best plan/phone combo to get? I really like the v60 so far.

thanks

i'd like to know too, thinking of getting my sister a phone for her birthday, and shes up there.

actually i would like to know who has good service up there.

Cingular blows around here (just my opinion). It is always filled with static. SprintPCS user here. Also dropped calls are quite frequent with cingular.

i dunno about plans there, but the v60 is SWEEEET! i was worth the $$ i spent on it!

Mind you I haven't been to Purdue in nearly 2 years but when I was there last my Sprint PCS phone worked ok in Lafayette but it had a lot of problems in West Lafayette.

They work great in West Lafayette now too. The only problem is that I dont get reception in some of the buildings on campus since they are pretty much bomb shelters.

For the V60, you have the choice of Verizon, or AT&T, both of which have a good network overall. The deals are better with AT&T for their version of the V60.

I just graduated from Purdue 6 months ago, I have SprintPCS - always worked great for me on campus.
