SMS will probably not go through at the moment: "Cellphone Service Shut Down in Boston" http://bigstory.ap.org/article/official-cellphone-service-sh...

"A law enforcement official says cellphone service has been shut down in the Boston area to prevent any potential remote detonations of explosives."

I am in the greater Boston area (outside of the city itself). Cell service has been on and off but ok overall.
