sbcatcher1 Posted May 20, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2004 What is the easiest way to call home from Alaska when in a port? Does the standard calling card work? Yes I know Alaska is part of the US :-) I am asking becaue the ATT&T card says it works in the US, Canada & Carribean but I could never get it to work there.

PassionFruit Posted May 20, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2004 On our last trip, we used public phones in each port and used our calling card. (Don't have any idea what 'brand' it was.) We didn't have any trouble using the card, but had to get use to the delay you experience when people speak.

Yukon Posted May 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2004 AT&T works, but on many phones in Alaska you have to call 1-800-CALL-ATT to get connected. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 21, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Also you are better off not using the "temp" phones set up at the docks. Walk into town to find the permanant ones. I never had any problem using ATT calling cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
