You people are so whiny! How did we ever manage to live without cellphones or for that matter landline telephones for that matter? Complain! complain! complain! The technology has not been around that long, but most are too short-sighted and impatient to realize that. Just look back 10 years in cellphone technology and see how much things have changed. Due to the greed of all involved, towers and transponder leases / agreements are not free nor cheap for these companies to negotiate, and it takes a lot of money and time for them to increase their service areas. Most choose not to expand unless there are enough potential subscribers to make their bottom line, and the Maine woods being what they are, uncrowded and fairly pristine, there are not enough subscribers. Just be patient.

I always have 2-3 out of 4 bars reception in Bangor Maine. Never dropped a call, very rarely have calls that don't come in well. I have no complaints. Given, 4 bars would probably be better, but I never have problems with 2 bars.

Bangor really needs to fix signal on Kenduskeag because there are some dead spots along Kenduskeag Such as the Intersection of Kenduskeag and Husson. I wish AT&T would get in gear and get 3g up here because places up in VT get them Bangor should at least get or should actually in fact already have 3g but, alase still nothing to be heard about 3g coming our way.

As long as I stay in Bangor, I don't have reception problems, but traveling out of area it depends on which way I turn my head if I can maintain one or two bars!

if you can get a signal east of bangor on or around rt 9 from AT&T your lucky. most signal comes from unicel (roaming partner) 5 bars until AT&T finds your phone and reprograms it to ignore the roaming partner. Then you get 0 or 1 bar.

My wife and I switched to TMobile from unicel due to traveling all over the nation. T-Mobile is great for that, but in Maine it is random and spotty. There are spots in Bangor where I will drop calls, etc. Then again we are in Maine... rather than Mass. etc I am thinking about switching to USC now that my contract is up!

Have now had US Cellular four years. Reception is perfect. Rarely if ever can't call or receive. Travel throughout county and state daily. Out of state relatives with sprint, Verizon and AT&T use my phone cause theirs won't work. Biggest negative, phone selection is terrible and expensive. Razr was $160 less at other carriers than I paid at USC. Free incoming and messaging less at USC.

I moved to Downing Rd and found that I had no signal. I complained to T-Mobile and they sold me a new phone. I still get zero bars. Not enough towers in town.

Reception is spotty at best. I can get 5 bars if I travel half a mile towards town. This is sad because a Verizon phone at the same location will get 5 bars.

Tmobile service in Bangor / Brewer is good and consitant if you are in town. Its ok if you head up river to Orono and ok down the 95 corridor until Hampden. Anywhere else in the Bangor area is spotty at best. Heading south on 95 after Hampden you might get blessed with spotty service until you hit Augusta from there it seems to work just fine all the way down to MA.

US Cellular has the best reception since they switched to CDMA. I have friends that work for Unicel and swear by that, but they are on the new digital thing. Problem with that is, Maine isn't digital everywhere. At least with US Cellular, if there isn't a digital signal, at least I get an analog signal most of the time.

Service in Bangor is terrible. I get 1 bar, then it goes to no bars then finnaly sometimes it can't connect to Cingular at all so it roams on T-Mobile and I get 4 bars. This is all at my house. I had USCC for 5 years and it was great. Switching was a terrible decision. Service in Bangor is terrible. I'm gonna cancel the contract. Cingular is a rip-off too.

I actually have Unicel GSM. Service is good almost everywhere I go, though there is poor / spotty reception along I95 in Etna, and also in downtown Pittsfield. There is supposed to be a tower going up in pittsfield soon, which will greatly improve that whole area. Overall I am very happy, though I think I travel around less than some people, so I would not notice if there was an issue in many areas.
