Calls dropped every third minute - I've had Verizon for years and never had a problem until I moved down here. Very frustrating.

Never had a problem with Verizon coverage in this area. I'm getting a smartphone and Verizon is too much of a price to pay. I was told T-Mobile was great in this area as well. So I'm swithching.

Back Bay, Boston, MA 02115 Mon Nov 06, 2006

Verizon works great in Back Bay and seems pretty good throughout most of Boston. I have occasional dropped calls but don't recall having hit a "dead spot" in the city. I am considering switching to T-Mobile because they have better phones and cheaper plans... I'm just not sure how T-Mobile performs throughout the rest of the Boston metro area.

Cingular's always been good in this area at the top of Beacon Hill, along with Verizon (except sometimes indoors). I just wish someone would post about T-Mobile, which I am planning to move to for a new phone.

T-Mobile used to be spotty in Boston but is now great. I even get reception in some T stations and definitely all over the city!

Terrible! I had perfect reception with AT&T, then the merger came. First I had a Motorola v551 - couldn't hear a thing - constantly dropped. Cingular sent me now a Nokia 6102i, telling me Motorolas don't work well with their network - DUH - um, hello - why you send me it to begin with?? Anyway - the NOkia is just as bad. Now my fight continues - they said if it didn't work IN MY APARTMENT, they would let me cancel my contract and not charge me the $175! Now I hope this board will help me choose the right carrier for this area! Unreal! Cingular - LOWERS THE BAR!

In my apartment I fluctuate between 0 and 1 bars. Definitely can't talk at all inside. I have to go outside and walk around the corner where I usually can get a sweet spot of 3-4 bars. But this is in rare locations and in general outside I will have 2 bars.

Never any service... .dropped calls all the time... .Sprint / Nextel's response is "Sir we are working on adding more antennas in your area but it won't happen overnight". Its been almost 10 months not overnight. Can't wait for the contract to be up.
