Never a dropped call with crystal clear reception like the person on other end is next door to you. Never goes in roam mode. I've had all the other companies and this is by far the best at least in the greater portland areas and even as far north as bangor its been perfect. Long live Sprint!
Great in my upstairs bedroom on waterfront where AT&Cingular (or whatever that company calls itself these days), Sprint, and TMobile couldn't get anything but static on thier best days. Also FULL BARS in Hannaford (Millcreek), CIrcuit City (Maine Mall) and Wal Mart (Falmouth). One area in Falmouth I had ONE bar and talked for over 6 minutes crystal clear. I hope to have a long happy mairage to Verizon Wireless (and love thier customer service on the phone and the VZ Wireless stores inside the Maine Mall AND Circuit City, both of which are corporate locations) U.S Cellular was faily good when I had them back in the day (2 years ago) but feel Verizon Wireless is one step above.
Reception at Olde English Village apartments on the basement and first floors for AT&T is horrible. This basically makes my cell phone useless at home. Again at work, I work right across from Maine Mall, inside the building the reception is Zero. Some thing to do with buildings in Maine... very very bad reception and cell phone company can't do much about it. Reception is near perfect outside the building.
Major Industrial Park. 1500+ work in this area. My VZW services stop at the front door. I don't even bother answering the phone. I live rural so it's a trade off but there is a tower right down the street to improve service. Verizon needs to explore this option. Stop the excuse about buildings, come down to this area and check it out. U.S Cell, AT&T, Sprint, NEXTEL all work. My contracts up soon, I know where I am going.
you are retarded if you think your cell phone is going to get recpetion everywhere you go, you are very important in your own head and thats good. Cingular provides service to places that are highly populated
Verizon service seems to be great in most of the places I go. I an outside sales person for an industrial distributor and travel all over Maine and NH. There are very few places where I cannot make a call. It has drastically improved since US Cellular has gone over to CDMA technology. My wife has a US Cellular phone - great results as well. I have heard nothing but gripes regarding GSM coverage in Maine. When will it improve?
