- apu 17y agoUh, no one gets phone signal anywhere in the subways, on any carrier.
- dustineichler 17y agoShould've clarified. Meant with wi-fi
- apu 17y agoNope, no wi-fi either, as far as I know.
- jmtulloss 17y agoThe BART in San Francisco provides some cell service through most of the city. http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2008/news20080721b.aspx http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2008/news20080721b.aspx
- apu 17y agoAh sorry, I meant in NYC.
- w1ntermute 17y agoAre you sure? http://www.switched.com/2007/09/21/nyc-subway-stations-wired-for-cell-phones/ http://www.switched.com/2007/09/21/nyc-subway-stations-wired... says towers were added more than 2 years ago. After all, not having cell service in the subways seems like an enormous omission that would have millions of people screaming.
- lallysingh 17y agoOn the upper east side, living here for 1 yr, I've never seen anyone talk (on their phones) on the subway.
- apu 17y agoHah, the list of things wrong with the NYC subway that would have millions of people screaming (in other cities or countries) is already very long -- dirtiness, lack of punctuality, or even a fixed schedule, no notifications of arriving trains, constant rerouting of lines due to construction, bums and panhandlers, etc. Lack of phone service is just one more thing to deal with. The only (slight) benefit of the NYC subway is that it runs 24 hours.
- byrneseyeview 17y agoThere is some reception at a few stops. Take the 4/5/6 from Union Square heading South, and you'll get a full signal every few stops. It doesn't last long enough to complete a call, but you can send a text.
