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 bought a Go Phone for travel. I travel to Alaska frequently and was supprised to find no service in Alaska as the coverage map showed coverage in the highway areas. I hope this service is returned as I would rather not change service.

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.

Cingular reception was virtually perfect for the first month I lived here and then one night service cut off permanently. It was as if someone at Cingular hit a switch. I've heard that Cingular is attempting to weed out alaskan residents so Im a bit suspicious but the bottom line is that i'm stuck with o service and cut off from the states. What's worse, I spent 2hrs a day on the phone with customer service getting bounced all around. Ultimately, they suggested I drive on the parks and waive the phone around. when that failed, they tried to hold me to my contract. Bottom line: unpredictable and I think that they shut you off once they realize you're in alaska for more than a vacation.

Marine Way, Kodiak, AK 99615 Mon Jul 31, 2006

I'm disappointed that there is No Service here. My phone had great reception just about my entire trip across the country (I relocated to Kodiak AK from Eastport ME). Even the first half hour on the ferry from Homer AK to Kodiak I had service - (bouncing off of Cellular One towers). I have No Service here in Kodiak, although other people with cell phones do have service - but they have Sprint / Nextel as their carrier. I really did not want to switch carriers, but it looks like I am not going to have any other choice but to switch.... unless Cingular hears my pleas and decides to build a tower here on the island!

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.

I am just anxiously waiting for my contract to end. I was told they were getting new cell towers aroung the mat su area. I went from 0 to off and on in different areas of my home, but to me thats still a 0. Many dead spots. Very very poor reception. I'm going with a different carrier as soon as I can
