A quick question, which Cell phone carrier are you using in AK and how does it work so far?

Thanks

Verizon and AT&T are the two big carriers up here. My wife used Verizon with the Canada add in for a month last summer when she was driving the Alaska highway, it worked great. I use AT&T and have good coverage throughout the road system here.

Which on works best, any preference?
Do you get coverage with both in Canada, Yukon, BC?

I went in June & July last year with an AT&T iPhone & a Verizon Jetpack for data. Much better service in Alaska with AT&T, however in the major cities Verizon was OK. Some of the Verizon stores had "Verizon in coming to Alaska" signs - I suspect they are improving coverage.

As to Canada, we had little problems with AT&T for voice, data was expensive...
