I read in a previous post about cell phone signals around major
cities (both of them) in Alaska. Anybody know whether or no I'll be
able to get a cell phone signal in and around Skagway? I have Cingular,
but I understand that where the towers are nearby all the services
can get the signal???
Thanks. The reponses to my previous questions about RVing in my
upcoming RV trip to Alaska with my Granddaughters was a tremendous
help and a veritable wealth of useful information and advice.

I talked to a fellow in Skagway who was using Cingular just fine. Verizon doesn't work.

Was in Skagway last year. As I recall the steepness of the area meant that
the signal worked in some places, but not others - and this was for verizon.

Thanks Bob & LB. Our laptop was stolen and we don't have time
to replace it so the cell phone is our only way to maintain contact
with the girls' Mom & Dad.

There are also places in Skagway, here in Seward, and elsewhere, where
you can pay a couple of bucks and use their computer to send a little
email.

You might consider an Iridium phone, they work anywhere outside, but they
are expensive.
