i get full reception in 98% of the places I go. can't beat the T-Mobile service in dorchester, or in downtown boston, and all over the city, I even get reception in dowtown crossing T station(underground), and park street station. I reccomend T-Mobile for anyone in these areas.

Reception used to be 3 bars back when I had an A500. Calls would get dropped every once in a while, but it was not a major problem. Recently I've "upgraded" to a A680 and it seems like I'm having much more trouble connecting and keeping a call from dropping. Sometimes I'll drop 4 or 5 times in a matter of 3-4 minutes- very distracting. I've installed an external trucker antenna, which does maximize the bars, but every once in a while I will still drop a call, and reception will vary from no bars to full in a matter of seconds. I'm trying to determine what is causing this but I can't. Maybe no direct line of sight with tower, or weird air density in the winter, but no idea really.

The people who are having reception problems with verizon in boston need to make sure it is not a problem with the phones. Almost every phone verizon services now gets full reception in most of boston, after all, verizon is the landline carrier and practically own the boston telecom market. remember, new every 2, one of the phones listed i know is over 2 years old, go to the store.

I get absolutely no reception in my building and I'm lucky to get any reception outside. Does anybody have a provider / phone that gets reception in Southie? I had visitors who got great reception, but I stupidly didn't ask for their phone plans.

Terrible, 4 bars is a dream. I'm happy when I'm between 2 and 3, and when I place a call 3 times out of 7 the reception just dies off and I can't hear anything. My text message are delayed greatly... sometime I even receive them over 24 hours later. I get a try again error 3 times out of 5 and to tell the truth this is extremely frustrating. I am greatly dissapointed and overall this provider seems to be a joke.

No reception around the Berklee College of Music area whatsoever... none. Even on the top floor of the Berklee dorms no service up high or street level.

I'm mystified by the folks reporting problems with Verizon. I have used my frequently dropped and otherwise abused Motorola V60 all over the city and burbs with no problems whatsoever. I switched off of Sprint four / five years ago and have no complaints about phone service. Their customer service, however, sucks and I am desperately trying to find another carrier with comparable coverage who will pamper me.

I'm right at the Brookline / Boston border near BU. I get no reception indoors. I get 5 bars outside but for some reason can't make a phone call. I have to go at least 0.5 mile to get reliable / usable signal. I've had Verizon for years and in the last 8 months their service seems to have gotten worse.
