Best Service in NY and Boston?

Discussion in 'Northeastern US Wireless Forum' started by Guest, Aug 3, 2002.

    I go to school in Boston and live in NY. I need a service which would be good on the roads between Boston and NY as well as in both areas. I currently have Sprint which is excellent in NY, at least from my experiences. But it's somewhat lacking in Boston. Which service would be the best for me? I'm thinking about Voicestream because of GSM or Verizon but I've heard they are pretty good in both areas. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Yep Voicestream would be a good choice. A relative of mine from NJ went to college in Boston (graduated this year). She got good coverage with Voicestream. This past year she switched to ATT because her phone got totaled (along with her car in an accident). She got droped calls which she never got before.

    Before you go with Voicestream, check their coverage maps to see if the roads you'll be using have coverage. Are you from upstate NY?

    If you'd be driving on roads that have GSM coverage then you can go with them. Only you know which roads you will be driving on so check the T-Mobile coverage map.

    Voicestream is a good choice if they have coverage where you need it. I'm sure they do, but you should check. They have coverage everywhere I need it. They just don't cover alot of rural-woody areas. They cover some, but not all.

    VS says get more. $40 = 600 minutes - no nights + unlimited weekend - less coverage to no coverage - no analog backup

    All others. $35 = 300 minutes + unlimited nights + unlimited weekend + bigger digital coverage + analog backup

    It's annoying that the person puts it in every thread, that's spamming.

    Can we force Anonymous people to register? For ex, in www.howardforums.com, you can NOT post unless you are registered. I think it also logs IP addresses too. Cant we do something like this here too?

    Well guys, pointing fingers at anyone is not the right way to go either... I may not agree with him on some things, but I hate when fingers are pointed with no proof. Maybe we can try to be a little more polite about it.

    I post different things in every thread, and they aren't even always about Voicestream. I just look at the subject of the thread, and if I know anything about it, I post. If I don't know anything about it, I don't post. There is no need for me to BS about something that I don't know about.

    What you are doing is spamming, and it needs to be stopped.
