How come my cell phone doesn't work in Boston and my parent's does?
Ok, my family and I are in Boston. Anyways, when I go there, my cell phone doesn't have any service and I can't call anyone, but My parent's phone works fine. We all have Verizon, so I don't know what is the problem? I can't call anyone, because I have no signal bars, nothing. Why?

I had the same issue with my phone, and they said its probably that my attena got fried(?)
