Live in West Roxbury off Washington St. near the Dedham line Horrible reception all over Boston and Boston area. Can't use phone inside my mom's house in Roslindale. No reception at all on West Roxbury Pkwy. between Belgrade Ave and Washington St. No reception behind Larz Anderson Park -- near the Park School. If I get reception in my basement -- I'm "roaming" Dropped calls all over the place. Poor reception just about every where. Missed calls and voice mails show don't show up until 1 - 3 days later. ATT tells me that I'm the only one who complains about reception in Boston... WHO ARE THEY KIDDING!

Sometimes drops to 0 bars at home depending on location in the house on the first floor. Attic is slightly better (+1 bar) Never better than 3 bars.

Hard to get reception down near the YMCA... Usually one bar, and spotty dropped calls.

Almost no reception inside my apartment. Sometimes can get one bar but lose it really quickly. Outside maybe can hold one bar for more than a minute, maybe.

Spotting at best. I have to go outside of my house to get reception.

i get 2-3 bars in w roxbury, inside and out. this is the so called "bad cell area", I don't have a problem... .the key is service provider and update your phone.

There is never any reception here whatsoever -- not with the phone I have now nor any phone I have had before. It's terrible.
