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.

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!

tmobile is great everywhere, except Seaver st in roxbury. and I go everywhere from boston to waltham.

I get perfect reception in most of Boston, but there are some spots with no signal at all: 1. The Memorial drive twist betwen Galeria mall and MIT 2. Crossing BU bridge 3. Getting off Storrow drive to Fenway 4. Parts of Sudbury and soranding towns. 5. Parts of Rt. 109 in Medway area. 6. Tr 93 Medford area 7. Lee and Newton street area in Chestnut Hill. Happy with the servise. Not happy with the upgrade phones and the way they offer things to strangers, but not to the loyal long term customers.

Works great from Longwood Ave Hospitals through the Fens and into the South End.

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.

I always have reception. I have reception underground (Park St. Downtown Crossing and South Station) I have 2-3 bars inside my school building, but it is brick.

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 have no problems getting reception with this phone and provider. Highly recommended.
