Introduction
Starting college is a big deal to say the least. It has to be one of the most important days of one’s life and probably the toughest too. There is so much you need to get done all by yourself; accommodation, courses, books etc. Most important of all though, are gadgets; MP3 players, iPods, laptops and of course cell phones. The thing with the latter is that you really need to know which service of all wireless phone services to opt for since there are just too many to choose from. So let’s see which ones are the best wireless phone services you should look out for.
History
When choosing wireless phone services, one thing you need to keep in mind is what kind of tools you prefer, as in what sort of package. Some college students prefer caller’s packages where they can make many calls at favorable rates while others prefer text messaging bundles. Some prefer a mixture of both. The gist of it is, kids don’t want to burn a hole in their pockets and want something economical. Speaking of economical, Verizon Wireless is on top these days of all services. It attracts kids because its packages start at $20 per month and you can make unlimited calls on the weekend, anywhere in the country for free. Of course if you want to pay more, take it up to a 50 and you can get a good text messaging package as well. One good thing is that you can get a group or family package which your whole family can share. This will bring down student expense. Another reason why his may attract students is that Verizon offers the latest 3G and 4G phones with its contracts, those too with great internet connectivity.

Airtel has a wide coverage and offers special student packs. These are updated every few months so there is no point of listing them up. Just keep checking out their site for updates. Coverage can be important if you are very far from home and if you are a foreign student you might need some good international rates too. AT&T wireless phone services are also famous with students. As you know AT&T is in the top three and offers contract plans as well as prepaid plans as low as $2 a day. Family packages are a specialty too. One thing about AT&T is that it offers GSM phones as well, thus catering to the international market, along with smart phones. Sprint offers good talk time too but you’ll need to splurge a bit for that. T-mobile offers good group and family packs staring at $60 which is great since you are sharing. Talk times being offered are amazing, plus smartphones and great internet.
