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.

Sprint has no towers in Alaska. You are going to be roaming and its tough to find a stable signal. Sometime I will have 5 bars, then a second later none. The service is pretty much slim and none in anchorage.

All Over Town / Abbott Loop intersection, Anchorage, AK 99507 Fri Jan 20, 2006

Cell One sucks. We live 2.3 and 2.8 mile between towers and still no service here. I could go on and on... .instead, I just got out of my contract.

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.

Tudor / Lake Otis, Anchorage, AK 99508 Tue May 16, 2006

Every time I cross Tudor / Lake Otis, no matter what direction, my calls are dropped. Also, if you go under the Tudor overpass on the New Seward, reception is so poor that it sounds like the person is underwater. But, I have a great plan with Cellular One, so I'm hesitant to switch.

Old Richardson / New Richardson intersection, Copper Center, AK 99573 Thu Apr 28, 2005

Sometimes you can talk somtimes you can't. If it was free it might be an ok deal. I will be glad when my contract is up! Do yourself a favor don't get started with Cellular One. Is the 1 n their name on a scale of 10? Or is it signal strength?

Anchorage Airport, Emmonak, AK 99581 Fri Oct 27, 2006

I travel a lot when I am out of Bethel, and was looking for a cheap way to communicate with family. Virgin Mobile said they had coverage in Anchorage, and other larger towns in Alaska. Lie. No signal at the airport, or at the Tudor-Muldoon curve (or anywhere in between), or on the way to the city of Kenai. Even though it is cheap, it is not worth it if you are not in the lower 48. I went with ACS, and am much happier.
