flamedic Posted May 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2007 We are sailing on the Zaandam June 13 out of Vancouver, BC. Will I be able to use my Sprint/Nextel there? What about on the ship while at sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted May 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2007 4 years ago, the Nextel did not work in Alaska. Unless they have expanded their coverage area, the phone is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PathfinderEss Posted May 25, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Cingular works fine up in Alaska in all ports and in Canada, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted May 25, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2007 You might try asking Sprint/Nextel: http://www.sprint.com/contactus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted May 25, 2007 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I have Sprint which I believes uses the same network as Nextel and just got back from the Noordam Alaska cruise. I had my cell phone off for much of the cruise as I wanted a break from phones, but did turn it on while docked in Juneau and had good reception (not even roaming, just regular call). I also checked my voice mail in either Sitka or Ketchikan (forget which one) and again had a good signal and was not roaming. Enjoy your cruise.
