Reception at home in Surry is nonexistent. Reception in Ellsworth is patchy. Reception between Surry and Ellsworth and Surry and Blue Hill is poor. Reception on MDI is poor but that was true with ATT and USCellular. Reception between Ellsworth and Bangor is patchy and in Bangor is adequate but I have to dial the 207 area code first (!??). Reception between Ellsworth and Colombia along Rt 1 is ok briefly near Gouldsboro. Service through the Cingular store in Ellsworth is marginally competent at best. Phone service with ATT was better before the ATT / Cingular consolidation. Grr.
Some reception on Park Loop Rd.and ocean mountside, but no reception on island mountain side to Route 3 close to the Tarn. Be careful hiking in Acadia!
I bought the service plan because Verizon stores advertised coverage in Belfast. During the past year it has disappeared in East Belfast on Kaler Road. Good service in town but none over the bridge and up the river.

I used to get great reception on the extended network but something has changed in the last few months and I am picking up a tower in Augusta. Verizon tells me this is not possible.

I commute to Portland. As soon as Cingular bought AT&T I began hitting dead spots along I-295 where there never used to be any. Now I can barely receive a signal all the way home. Cingular has got to be selling off their towers. Now I'm locked into a 2 yr. contract where I'm paying $60 a month for a digital "pocket watch." And it looses time on occasion!
Near Harbor / Along Shore To Brunswick intersection, Freeport, ME 04032

Even with analog available on this phone, reception is nil in and around the harbor in South Freeport, and nearly as bad on lower Flying Point all the way to Brunswick along the shore. This is not the "new" GSM they have been pushing.
