Best cellphone network/coverage in Boston

I'm moving to Boston soon (specifically the Brookline area) and was hoping people could tell me which cellphone provider has the best coverage/signal there.

I was hoping to just get a SIM card, but if another provider that doesn't use sim cards has better coverage, then I'm willing to go with them instead.

Thanks for your help!

Try sending a PM to brunotheboxer. He lives in Boston IIRC. Also, be sure to post in the regional forum as well.

I lived in the fenway area (1330 boylston) for a couple years and have ATT. I've had issues with calls dropping while inside the apartment, but outside i never had issues.

For some reason it seems like everyone I know on the east coast that doesn't have an iPhone (NY, Boston, Connecticut, etc) uses Verizon, and to be honest with you I probably would be on Verizon too if I didn't have an Iphone. Comparing reception with my gf's Bberry, in Chicago we're usually the same, while in NY she'll get reception in places where I won't, for example the subway

Not sticking up for ATT or anything but do you have your phone in a case/screen protector? These things can often negatively affect your reception/call quality
