There may be a few students, faculty, staff and administrators at the
University you could ask in person.

GSM coverage in that part of VA is spotty...mostly along the major
highways. T-Mobile's map appears to claim coverage in
Charlottesville, possibly along 29 to Lynchburg and south to Danville,
and along the I-81 corridor...it's hard to tell, as it does not
identify any of those cities, just the larger cities like Richmond.
If they aren't wedded to GSM, I'd recommend a carrier like Alltel
(CDMA) in Charlottesville. They have extensive coverage, and roam on
Verizon outside the Alltel service area.
