AT&T

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | Washington Ave. | Ocean Ave., Portland, ME 04103 |

I get 1-3 bars fluctuating. No matter how many bars I have, calls are dropped, and conversations are broken up for the person on the other end of the line. I agree with others on here, the service has been deteriorating consistently for the last 2 years. I used to preach about how good the AT&T service was, usable all the way to Fort Kent. Since Verizon bought Unicel and it's GSM towers, AT&T's service has been deteriorating. Not surprising since they are arch rivals. I also agree with others that their Customer Service is misleading and always shifting the blame to the phone. I had a rep tell me that no other company in Maine had more towers and coverage than AT&T. A bold faced lie. Not sure how they sleep at night. So I put my money where my mouth is and order 2 brand new iPhone 5's from Verizon today. Buh Bye liars.

Lived in this house for 4 years and at first AT&T was ok, but over the last 12 months it has gotten much worse. Better phone, no change in location and now I can't make calls from anywhere in my house and drop at least 10 calls / week.

No bars inside the house on my basic Nokia candy bar. Outside down on the street, yes. I live on the 3rd floor of brick bldg. I'd like to know what everyone else in this neighborhood of similar buildings is using.

I've had the phone and US Cellular for about 6 weeks now. NO dropped calls yet. Good coverage all over Portland. I even get 2 bars from the center of the steel framed commercial structure I work at on Valley St. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

By far US Cellular has the best reception overall in Maine. People are talking about dropped calls and no service as a normal cell phone experience. I get about 4-5 dead spots from Kittery to Caribou, sounds like everyone else is listing 20 or so in Portland alone. Check out the map and count towers OWNED by United States Cellular v.s random corporate tower leasing management companies. As a final comment, I get reception at 60% of the campsites along the AT, how's that for rural service.

most of my calls are usually dropped within a minute, and during the minute before it's dropped, I cannot hear the other person or vice versa

The phone can't seem to decide which service to use. Moving about, sitting still, whatever activity, the phone jumps from roam to home sporadically and frequently. The most common customer service comment boils down to I don't know how to use a cell phone, despite years of success with other carriers, phones, and yes, even this phone for about one year. The second year (last year for US Cellular and me?) has been increasingly vexing.
