Louisville Cell service?

[Rowdy]

My Daughter is in school at U.of L, Her choice, What cell service is best for the money in that area? Our local Bluegrass Cell informed me 1/2 her calls must be made from home area! It's in the fine print, That is E-town south.
Even though we have nation wide?

Thanks

I would recommend you look at T-Mobile. We have been with one of those major guys whose name seems to change every two years and any time you encountered a problem it was indeed your problem. We switched to T-Mobile and their customer service has been fabulous. Their prices are competitive as well.

Best of luck to your daughter on her educational pursuits!!

Verizon. Not the CHEAPEST, but by far, the BEST. I've used everything, and Verizon has the best coverage.

I use my phone at Dale, KY Lake, Nolin, Cumberland, Patoka, Dogwood, etc, etc.

I also used my phone 50 miles up the Gunflint Trail in Minnesota, and it worked FINE. No other phone service, and No one in my fishing group has better coverage. In fact, pretty much everyone uses my phone when we're on the lake.

Later,

yes bluegrass will get ya when you are out of area. i work in louisville that is why i changed. i have had t-mobile great service no complants then changed over to nextel even better but if you dont know people on next tel not worth the money.

Does Verizon work better than Bluegrass in rural areas?

I havent seen anything better than Cingular myself. I have buddies that have different ones and cingular seems to be the best.

Cingular seems to have the best reception as far as my experience.

I've been with verizon for years with no problems, great coverage, no roam or ld charges, and have had service where my buddies with cingular, nextel/sprint & toliet mobile lost service.

I have to agree with Cingular, I use to work for Verizon and I still used Cingular for my private cell service!!!

I had Verizon for 7 years and never had any real problems. Switched the Cingular about 4 months ago because they were cheaper and all of my friends had their service. Well, I know now why they were cheaper---there service is horrible. I drop calls all of the time and that's right here in Louisville. Don't even think you can get service on the lakes. If it keeps up, I will be looking for another service soon.

Thanks
I guess I'm spoiled with Bluegrass cell here at home, All the big guys have no service 2 miles off I-65 here in the boonies!

I used to work for Cingular and still believe they have the best coverage across the state. My nephew's Verizon phone stopped working in Flemingsburg as he came down 68. A similar problem of call dropping within the city happened in Lexington but it was fixed. If you have problems at a certain spot make sure you complain. There are times when they believe coverage is good but will respond (eventually). The major area that Cingular is weak is down toward Cumberland.
