Alcan Hwy Alaska Cell service?

What works best along the Alcan Highway? Verizon? AT&T? T-Mobile?

A friend is going up there for a Willy's Jeep event.

  • What do you define as the Alcan?

    Verizon works all over in Alaska, so does ATT. I never used Verizon in Canada so I don't know how well it would work there. Someone else needs to comment on Canada cell service.

    Please list the travel route thru Canada. I am guessing that Dawson Creek, BC is where your friend is going to travel thru starting at the beginning of the Alaskan Highway, then thru Whitehorse, YK, and then to Delta Junction, AK, the end of the Alaskan Highway.

    Please list more information.

  • The main problem, at least further north, is the lack of any cell service. It's usually only available a couple of miles before or after the small towns and nothing in between for a long waaaayyyysss. The same thing after you cross over into Alaska.

  • None of the above.

    Att I suppose. I recall it working for me in Whitehorse and Dawson City (Klondike)

    The Canadian carrier that sells itself through 7-11 worked the best. You can put the SIM card in an unlocked phone from Vzw or Att.
