i work for ACS for over a year now and I keep seeing Verizon Wireless has great service in alaska. thats because they roam off our towers. lol, and we roam off them in the lower 48s. we use a cdma network so it works well to roam off each other.

5000 a St., Anchorage, AK 99503 Mon Aug 25, 2008

I recently took a month long trip through Alaska. The only location I received coverage was in Anchorage / Palmer. Fairbanks, Tok, Homer, Soldotna, and all places in between were dead. Not what I expected from a nationwide provider of this size.

Lake Otis / Dowling intersection, Anchorage, AK 99507 Thu Jun 12, 2008

In the middle of town, Lake Otis and Dowling, I have horrible reception. The phone signal is weak and calls drop constantly. I believe it is either the lack of towers or presence of an abandonded radio station across the street. Either way, I don't enjoy having my call dropped 6 times when trying to call my family in one evening. But, what are we going to do?

Abbott Loop / Elmore / Abbott intersection, Anchorage, AK 99507 Tue Mar 25, 2008

I have cellular one now owned by AT&T and t. My phone is really old and I used to get dropped calls constantly or no service at all. It has improved since the latter part of 2007. It will allow me to use it somewhat I still have to find a spot in the house or outside on the deck for it to work and it will drop eventually or be all garbled. I usually switch over to the land line. SO I am not sure if I should upgrade to AT&T and t or not maybe a newer cell would work better? I am not sure any cell would work in this area.

36th / Lake Otis and Boniface intersection, Anchorage, AK 99507 Thu Nov 22, 2007

Every time I cross 36th St.my calls get dropped. GCI cellular sucks. The only good thing was my Alaska Air miles I got when I signed up. My calls get dropped constantly when I'm on the road and when I pull into my neighborhood near East Dowling and Sunchase I lose coverage. I was in Houston a few weeks ago and my phone worked great. No problems with service there so it isn't my phone. Can't get service on Fort Richardson, in Willow Creek, or in the Russian River.

T-Mobile uses Cellular One towers here in Anchorage, so I'm assuming this posting is for Cell One as well. A year ago, I wasn't even able to get any reception at Service High School area (if I'm standing outside), but now, I can get full bars when I'm deep *inside* the building with several concrete walls. I've also heard that people has been having problems getting reception on certain parts of Fort Richardson, but I haven't experienced any problems at all. The only problem I have is sending picture messages and receiving any internet services on my phone. Other than that, it works perfectly.
