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.
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.
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!
