ATT is BS! I cant have a conversation. Somedays I get good coverage for a few minutes and other days one small bar in the samme freekin place! In The middle of town there are dead spots every time. Walk into a building and it goes dead. WTF? What happened to the American way of delivering a good product and building a customer base on service? No wonder they don't have a land line to talk to them on.

Should never have switched from Verizon, but wanted "local" exchange. AT&T drops multuiple calls / week. Local store has no clue when towers go down. Many outages / brownouts last 4-48hrs and are only subject to get worse this summer as the cruise-ship season begins and AT&T once again has no plans to handle the increased traffic.

My AT&T worked perfectly in Homer in 2006. When I arrived at the airport in Anchorage in 2007 it didn't work at all. I don't sign contracts with cell phone companies. The phone was a pay as you go. Solution: I bought a pay as you go ACS phone to use only in Alaska and the AT&T to use everywhere else.

I live in Homer, Alaska and my friends from college all have AT&T / T-Mobile / Verizon. They all have really good reception everywhere, except in the middle of the woods. Go figure. But other than that every one gets good service. Since AT&T just bought Cell One, and is now in Alaska. Oh and the only bad thing about Verizon is its Internet. You can't go online and you can't receive picture messages or video messages. Nor send them.

In the summer of 2006 my AT&T pay as you go phone worked perfectly in Alaska. When AT&T switched to Cingular, my remaining minutes were transferred to a new phone. In January, 2007 when I returned to Alaska the new phone didn't work at all.When I called Cingular they said they did not cover Alaska.

I have lived and traveled around Alaska since May 2006. My Cingular service worked great until 12 / 28 / 06. Cingular did inform me that this would happen and offered me to back out of my contract because of it. They explained that they will no longer pay to use other carriers towers. My phone is completely dead in Homer and I assume all over AK as they said it would be. However, I have not been outside of Homer since my service went dead.

Good reception along most of the Sterling Highway from Anchorage to Homer. A few short "dead" spots near Summit Lake and Cooper Landing.
