Boston Mobile Phone Service Is Working Now Say Carriers [Update]

Following the explosions at the Boston Marathon, it had been reported by the Associated Press that all mobile phone service had been suspended in the Boston area to prevent the remote detonation of any remaining explosives. Carriers are now reporting that services are active but traffic in the area is very heavy. If you need to check up on someone in the area, you can use Google’s Person Finder or the database of runner check-ins instead.
