Passengers riding the T in tunnels underneath downtown Boston will now be able to chat on their cellphones, text-message their friends, or use hand-held devices to e-mail their bosses from platforms and underground tunnels in and around four of the MBTA's busiest stations.
Yesterday, AT&T became the third cellphone provider to offer a signal underground. T-Mobile and
Verizon both connected their networks earlier this month, but without any announcement from the T, many customers were not aware they could use their phones.The service is currently being offered in Downtown Crossing, Government Center, State, and Park Street stations, and all the tunnels in between. Expansion to other stations and tunnels is expected as cellphone service providers see demand and are willing to pay for the connection. - Boston Globe
