I get reception whenever I need to use my phone within the Bangor area, though admittedly mostly on an as-needed basis (not a big phone chatter). Outside of Bangor (Ellsworth, Orland, Castine are where I've checked) is spotty at best. Also, I don't use any special features (text messaging, picture phone, data transfer, aim). I have noticed my phone picking up both US-890 (I believe this is the Unicel GSM network) and AT&T periodically in places where T-Mobile usually gets a decent signal. Since I have free regional roaming, this isn't a big deal but it did worry me a little because I was wondering if T-Mobile was losing towers in the area. Hopefully, they'll straighten everything out and improve cell reception around Bangor.

AT&T quality varies but does work acceptably. There are some dead zones and variability but is generally acceptable in the Bangor and surrounding areas.

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.

If T-Mobile is trying to break into the northern Maine market, they sure need to start providing towers other than just in Bangor and down I-95. I here that they are partnering up with Unicel and that Unicel is doing a soft conversion to GSM Phones, But heck they better start and move fast. Yes, cell phones are a lux. or conv. item but they are also a safety item for as much traveling that most people do here in maine to and from work. Step it up T-Mobile and Unicel, cause Cingular is also moving in fast.

Even with my Microcell at home, different buildings once step inside the building the signals falls and can't receive calls or pull data. Can't wait to my contract to finish to switch for a better coverage. Have been with ATT for a long number of years since the first iPhone, now iPhone is going to more wireless companies.

lucky to get one bar using verizon. us cellular comes in well but I cant use them even though both are CDMA cariers

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.

Reception was okay til Summer 2006, now dropped calls, can't make calls, 0 bars in places where friends have full signal. Will go from No Service to 5 bars to No service in seconds... Cancelling the service.

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.

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.
