All of Campbell is 95008, so going by zip code is not sufficient. It's
like many Bay Area suburbs where one zip code covers a relatively large
area. Along Bascom, Winchester, Hamilton, and Campbell Avenue the
coverage is probably just fine, it's when you get into the
non-commercial areas that you have to worry.

That said, Campbell doesn't have the issues that some other Bay Area
cities have with new suburbs in the nether regions having poor coverage
from one carrier or another. Cupertino has large swaths where T-Mobile
and Sprint suck, because these are off in the hills where no one wants
a tower. Campbell is pretty flat and compact, and other than maybe over
along parts of Dry Creek Road between Bascom and Leigh, you should have
no problem with any carrier.

When I lived in Campbell, about 15 years ago, I had AT&T/Cellular One
TDMA and it was fine, so Cingular GSM should also be fine, since it's
the same network.

I still notice that the Santa Cruz mountains have much better coverage
with Verizon than with Cingular, but if you don't care about non-urban
areas, then Cingular should be fine.
