T-Mobile 1 Out of 5	McKeldin Library, College Park, MD 20742	Sun Oct 02, 2011
	Absolutely no coverage inside McKeldin Library or any building on campus, for that matter. Outside, T-Mobile is fine. Once you step foot inside a building, however, good luck trying to send or receive calls or texts. I switched to T-Mobile from Virgin thinking they'd be better... Nope. I'm planning on going to Verizon once my contract expires. Don't get Virgin or T-Mobile if you spend a lot of time in buildings on campus.

Sprint 0 Out of 5	Manufacturing Bldg, College Park, MD 20742	Sun Dec 05, 2010
	Inside the building, don't even expect to get any Sprint coverage. Also, inside most buildings (Engineering, Armory, etc) Sprint doesn't work. Oddly enough, I don't get any reception at the open mall.

Verizon 3 Out of 5	Campus, College Park, MD 20742	Mon Dec 03, 2007
	I almost ALWAYS have average-perfect reception on campus. The only places where I don't are elevators and basements of buildings. I never get reception at Jimenez though. Van Munching is always good-perfect.

AT&T 1 Out of 5	University of MD, College Park, MD 20742	Wed Jan 31, 2007
	I get either 1 or 0 bars on campus. I would not recommend Cingular at this location.

Virgin Mobile 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Audiovox Flasher V7	University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742	Sat Oct 21, 2006
	I usually always have some service, however in buildings its difficult to get really good service. I always barely had service in the dorms, and usually kept the phone by the window so I didn't miss calls. In South Campus Commons, I can have in anywhere in my apartment without trouble, but I don't ever have more than a bar or two. Outside of buildings, I get pretty good serivce. In classrooms, depending on what building I'm in, I either get some service or none at all. I do find, however, that I generally have better service than people with cingular, nextel, etc. Generally, from what my friends say, the only carrier that gets great service at UMD is Verison.

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6610	AVWilliams Building / Paint Branch Dr. Intersectio / University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742	Sat Oct 08, 2005
	Absolutely no coverage inside the building, but possible to get maybe "1 bar" when standing in front of glass windows (or as other poster suggested, when sticking your head out of a window). Verizon is confirmed to work inside the building.

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6610	Van Munching Hall / University of MD,20742, College Park, MD 20742	Mon Oct 03, 2005
	No reception inside the classrooms, 1 bar from time to time inside the atrium (glass ceiling) - but not even enough to deliver text messages. Above average up to full signal strength the second I step outside the building. If you spend most of your time in VMH, I would not recommend T-Mobile. Other people seem to have better luck with Verizon and Nextel - which isn't much of a surprise since Nextel installed several transmitters inside the business school.

AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 3650	AVWilliams Building / Paint Branch Dr., College Park, MD 20742	Tue Jul 19, 2005
	Need to stick your head out the window to get reception (or have an ear piece!) I have noticed other peoples phones working in inside rooms. Perhaps Verizon

T-Mobile 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Samsung e315	UofM, College Park, MD 20742	Tue Jul 05, 2005
	Pretty good reception except when inside brick building or being blocked by one.

AT&T 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V551	US 1 - Baltimore Ave., College Park, MD 20742	Wed May 25, 2005
	Was in College Park, MD over the weekend. Had full service with Cingular everywhere.
