We may soon lose one of the last excuses for missing a phone call. The MTA is working on a deal with Verizon to offer [cell phone service to cover all 277 subway stations](http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/23/new-york-today-can-you-hear-me-now/?ref=bklyner.com), which could be complete as soon as 2017\. There are already [30 stations in the system with service](http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/23/new-york-today-can-you-hear-me-now/?ref=bklyner.com) (all in Manhattan), and 40 more in Manhattan and Queens will get coverage next year.

If you stand outside waiting for the F or G train at the 4th/9th Street station, you are already somewhat familiar with phone call chatter on the platform, but are you ready for that to be just about everywhere?
