Trial Run

To update the post on T cellphone service, I took a ride from South Station to Kenmore yesterday afternoon and made a call.

Here's what's going to keep cellphone usage down on the train, at least the Red Line: it's just too damn loud. I couldn't hear a word of what my wife was saying.

On the other hand, the reception was fabulous. Four bars the whole way. So, it should be great for text messaging, e-mail, &c.
