T- Mobile uses Cellular One (Dobson Cellular Service), but the service is sometimes crapy. The calls don't go through and you have to try a bunch of times before the call goes through. If you have wireless internet on the phone it will not work. no matter were your at. To retrive your voice messages is a mission of it's own. First, because your roaming you can't just call your mailbox, you have to call your own number and get the messages that way. Sometimes the service is slow. But other than that is GOOD!

My reception is alright. It has gotten WAY better since May. I can usually have a conversation with out me having to get disconnected. All n all, I think it is pretty good and they said they will keep improving it.

t-mobile uses dobson. signal power is 1 bar to 0 bar. displayed on my phone is usa 560. this is the worst phone service I have ever had in a major city.

depending where you are in town. I get dropped a lot for no reason, best reception seems to be in south anchorage near diamond and east side near bragaw and muldoon

Occasional dropped calls but usually pretty good service. I'm still on the digital network so I haven't had any of the GSM problems. And I'm still on my original AT&T plan which is unbeatable so I'm stickin' with it as long as possible. But what will happen once the TDMA network goes obsolete?

I have Verizon Wireless. I just came to Alaska on vacation and was able to get better service than most of the folks I talked to who live in Alaska - thats just with extended coverage.

I have been with this company since 1989, although they have changer drom Cellular One to AT&T Wireless and now Dobson / Cellular One. In that time, their service has gotten progressively worse. After promising us better reception and fewer dropped calls with GSM, service is perhaps ten times worse. A typical call is garbled. Many calls require a hang up and redial. Dropped calls happen EVERY DAY to this moderate user. System Busy response can happen any time. And then there are the lines at their main retail location on C Street. My question is, would I be any better off with ACS? Don't they all use the same infrastructure?

at best 3 bars and at worst 0 all within 3 feet. I cannot call form most rooms in the house and when I do get connected it is hard to complete a call before being dropped. Making a call requires being stationary. Also calling from areas both north and south of town that I have fished for years and was able to call on AT&T I cannot get signal. Or get it but cannot complete a call. I would hate to have to trust this in an emergency!

Why don't these clowns wake up. Since, Cellular One took over from AT&T, customers have left in droves.

In the last 6 weeks, I have experienced no reception to a perfect connection only to being completed cut off after 5-20 seconds. I use my phone to coordinate our family / work life and it is crippling. It has resulted in wasted time for both my husband and I. I would like to bill Cellular One for my time. I passed a brush / fence fire on Southport Dr.(S. Anchorage) last week and tried to call 911 five different times. No service! Precious time was wasted and luckily no homes caught on fire. I am frustrated and appalled. They are making some bad decisions about how they are using their bandwidth... I am ready to jump ship this week.

Reception is consistantly good enough here that I can use my cell phone as my primary home phone most of the time, but sporadically I get dropouts where I lose signal for a moment despite the fact that I am not moving.

Cell Phone reception starts to drop off dramatically as you approach Obrady's on Tudor and can sometimes drop out completely. Back in the neighborhoods right there on the corner cell phone reception is patchy at best. Picks up again at Pioneer Drive. This applies to both GSM and TDMA phones, both work equally as bad on this corner.

Reception is pretty good in Anchorage, but there are not enough cells available to meet demand.

My AT&T GSM phone works here.. but it's spotty at best. I wish the providers in this state would catch up on the GSM coverage.

AT&T GSM Phones do not work in Alaska. I don't know who the other AT&T GSM phone user was talking to other than a person sitting beside of him or her.

Great reception in Homer and Seward, and perfect in Ancharage.

Didn't work under AT&T. Cellular One didn't add any towers near me and fix it. Now with Cellular One's GSM service I was hoping that signal quality would be better. Nope. I can't take advantage of any night and weekend minutes because I can't use my phone at my house.
