bappo Posted May 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Was wondering if anyone that has verizon cellular can tell me what kind of reception they have gotten in Alaska? Realize the topic has been covered before, but I haven't seen verizon addressed. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srphnx Posted May 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2004 A quick visit to the Verizon web site and the inputting of the zip code for Juneau (largest city on most itineraries), shows NO service.

S&T Posted May 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Since I have Verizon, should I just buy a phone card and try to find a pay phone? Are there many in Skagway and Ketchikan? Diamond Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srphnx Posted May 11, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yes, many but not enough Skagway has a population that goes up by 1000% on ship days.

csk Posted May 11, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2004 we have Verizon phone service and was in Alaska last year, our phone did work in some cities, it did work in Juneau, Anchorage and Keticihan, but did not work in Skagway, so dont know why it says no service, do go to your local store and they will tell you how to "boost" your long distance service. Service was spotty but we did use our phone several times and we were not charged roaming. Have fun in Alaska it is beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
