CammieO Posted July 25, 2018 #27 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Has anyone had experience using Sprint in Alaska (Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan)? I’m hoping to be able to check in with my pet sitter while we’re away. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathondolphin Posted July 25, 2018 #28 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If we try to use our phone while traveling from one port to another will it be roaming ? Yes, it will. We kept our phones on airplane mode on the ship. We have Verizon. Once we forgot and a 5 minute call ended up costing $15 from Cellular at Sea. As we were cruising along the shore, when you see 4G on your phone, you are OK. Look for "Cellular at Sea". If don't see it, you should be OK. When in Canada, even though it was roaming, we had no extra charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to be able to check in with my pet sitter while we’re away. Thank you! It sucked, and was non existent. Assume you won’t have it. I just got back from those ports a couple weeks ago, and it was extremely frustrating to not have any contact. I could (maaaaybe) get a text off in each port.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, I agree, Sprint is terrible!! Tomorrow is Skagway. I’m betting it won’t be any better than the first two. My daughter and SIL have ATT and they are getting good coverage at the ports. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathondolphin Posted July 26, 2018 #31 Share Posted July 26, 2018 VERIZON -- When To Check For Service? Verizon has told me I have service in Alaska. I was wondering, though, if I turn on my phone and don't see "Verizon" but get a voicemail or call while I am checking if I have service in port, what happens (i.e., will I be charged for roaming?)? Should I wait until I am off the ship to check or am I safe to do this once we dock? Any tips from fellow Verizon customers? THANKS! :) I had no problem with my Verizon service in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway or Victoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
