Mariaville / Otis Area, Ellsworth, ME 04605 Sat Jan 30, 2010

Why can't we get better coverage in this area. I hear you are working on improving it. It ticks me off when I need to make a call and can't or get a call and I get 3 pieces out of a 100 piece puzzle and it is sometimes very,very important to understand what is trying to be said. I have several times have family in the Hospital and don't know if its about them or just a call. Pleas help. Thanks.

We need better service in the area of Beech Hill Pond in Otis Maine. At camp we have no bars, we go up to Mariaville's high point to make the calls. Hope to have better service in 2010. I keep paying in hopes to be calling.

171 Otis Rd. Otis, Maine / Mariaville Rd., Ellsworth, ME 04605 Sat Jan 30, 2010

Unable to make or receive calls at the Otis General Store Otis, Maine. Service is non-existant. Need cell tower closer than Ellsworth 10 miles away. I am paying for a service that I can't use most of time. I have to go towards Ellsworth or go to a very high point to call out. We have a camp on Beech Hill Pond, when we are there we need to go up to the hill that the land line telephone co, to make a call. Really kinda FUNNY, not really. Otis is a growing area and in the summer it is one hopping place, there are 700 camps on the pond. Hope to make a call soon from the Otis General Store and get one, too.

i got better reception on a deserted island, surrounded by deserted islands, in the Bahama islands this winter, with the same service provider. come on folks, we are in the first world here, and not that I begrudge the folks in the bahamas, but they are getting free internet hotspots all over, in remote places, and the phone service is great, what gives?

High St., Ellsworth, ME 04605 Sat Jul 21, 2007

Several of us who work together have different carriers and here's what I've seen in the real world. Cingular works great in Ellsworth proper but useless anywhere else until you get south of Portland. Bangor is a total waste of time. US Celluar seems to work in Acadia when other phones get no signal. Also seems to pick up better than most driving down east. Problem is dropped calls happen quite often. Not a good choice if you travel nationally. Verizon was best and I was with them for years but thought Cingular would be better for Ellsworth area. Not so, same problems as Verizon locally but Verizon was much better anywhere else but eastern Maine. I'll be switching back especially now that the I-phone is taking up so much band width.

US Cellular reception is the best in the state. I have never dropped a call and they continue to expand their coverage. When I called customer service I got all my questions answered. I will never go back to Cingular again!

Ball Field Rd. / Rt 179, Ellsworth, ME 04605 Sat Mar 25, 2006

We own property on east side of Graham Lake, and have absolutely no reception with Verizon, which is the carrier I use in NYC. Service in Ellsworth--10 miles south of us--is a bit better. Since building a home on the lake, it has cost me a FORTUNE in land lines because my builders cannot communicate with each other. I do not buy the idea that "the mountains are in the way" Manhattan is full of "mountains" and cell service is fair to good. I would gladly let someone put a tower on my land if that would help. The land lines are stupid expensive.
