We are thinking about traveling to Maui and would like to know if I would have cell service in Maui.
Maui has great coverage and there is no extra charge for service. As a great U.S. state, it is domestic service just as if you were in Lebanon, Kansas (center of the contiguous U.S.) with no additional charges or roaming fees for calls, text or data.

Yes, you will have Verizon serice in Maui. Was recently there and had no signal problems.
I have the same question. I will be traveling there this week and I know there is coverage there, but will I be charged anything extra for using my cell service? I am on a MORE EVERY UNL TALK & TEXT plan and am just wondering. Thanks for your response.

I don't know why people think alaska or Hawaii are different as the wireless plans promote US coverage and they are part of of the US. The only place I would be leary of is PR but I've been there with no trouble, and with my T-Mobile device I can travel anywhere in North America and be fine. I think VZ offers those plans now.
You should have no trouble while in Maui. This is from my experience 6 months ago, and unless something drastic changes you should be fine.
I live on Maui and my service is terrible. I drive from Kahana to Kahului daily. I play internet videos to listen to audio on the drive. In that 45 minute stretch I might get 5 minutes of uninterrupted play. I hear half a sentence of the audio and it will stop. Then restart. Then stop. The. Whole. Time. Every. Day.
There is only one highway to the other side of the island. It is largely unpopulated. In addition to the problem with data service, all Maui residents know that you can't have a full phone conversation or dependably-delivered text messages on that stretch of road either. There are no "call boxes" so cell service should be good enough to call first responders should there be an emergency.
It may have been better in 2016 when you wrote your reply but in 2021 it stinks.
