nyc: I am going to purchase a phone soon however, I would like a phone that has some service in the underground subways in NYC. So, which provider and manufacturers would fit this description?|||Sorry, depends how deep stations in Underground, there are no receptions except for following area: Hillside Av (F) Line from 179 St to Sutphin Blvd (since it's close to street level) North end of Lex Av/59th St (4)(5) platform by stairs. All elevated stations are receiption.|||None. You are underground so you will not get any cell phone service in the subway no matter what carrier.|||As far as I know, none at all, except for the official walkie-talkies the MTA workers use.
