I am stationed in Boston where my Nextel works fine - it only works in southern Maine and Nextel is completely useless anywhere north of Augusta / Gardner

At some point before Wakefield on Rt. 16 service drops.

Cingular said they had a tower on Sunday river. We bought their phones and their was no service, we had one bar at best.

I have Verizon with roaming, which is Cingular up here. Terrible reception, except in Ellsworth downtown. Blue Hill seems pretty good also. Nothing on Acadia.

Bought the phone in Phoenix, told it would work fine in Portland. No signal, and no help from Virgin. I made the mistake of buying into their month to month plan, paid the fee for hours up front, and when the service died, was told too bad. The Virgin representative suggested I consider only using my phone outside. I wonder how that would work in January in Maine!

Two years on problem now after three different phones no reception. Verizon told me they were on the Lee Me. tower next time they told me they were not on the tower.???

To explain the dissappearing coverage in Maine. VZW is turning off analog towers EVERYWHERE, as they are much more expensive to keep running. They look at a sheet of numbers and say "Hrmm. 5% of our customers rely on analog. Not worth it. Shut em down."

Two years ago I had no problem. Now no service. No help from Verizon

Would love to get some reception at home, this is kind of crazy. Thanks!

No service north of Lewiston
