Cell Phone Service
at Orange-
I asked the regular skydivers' advice on which cell phone companies
work at Skydive Orange and which don't. Here's what they said:
GOOD:
I have Alltel and love it (From Orange resident)
I've used both Cingular (GSM) and Verizon at the DZ.
Both work well at the DZ itself. Cingular (GSM) didn't work
well in the town of Orange.
Ntelos works well roaming at the airport, but hardly works at all in
Orange, and hardly works at all heading west out of Orange on Rt 15.
Cingular:
cingular works just fine at Orange. I'm not sure if it's
"extended" service or not as my plan doesn't charge extra for
roaming.
Cingular works well at SOI and in town.
Cingular works well at the DZ and in town.
I have cingular, and it seems to work at Skydive
Orange and the town of Orange in general very well.
It goes dead on 522, though, and then comes back on
29
Except for actually in my house (which I think is just a weird,
annoying, exception), Cingular works really well all over Orange.
Verizon:
Verizon is the only provider that ALWAYS gets perfect
reception.
Believe me, I tried them all when I lived there!
Verizon works great.
I get decent coverage at the hangar with Verizon
go with Verizon, they are the BOMB and work fabulously at the
DZ
Verizon has a tower in Orange, so it is in the home network
there and works great.
FAIR TO MIDDLIN':
Sprint Roaming at Skydive Orange and throughout town
BAD:
T-mobile doesn't work in either the town of Orange, or Skydive
Orange.
Sprint PCS does not work "home" at Orange.
