As always, you need to be within range of a tower. And it has to be a tower with your carrier, or a carrier that has roaming arrangements with your carrier. And, the technology has to be the same. Some newer phones use a new technology and are not backwards compatibale with older systems.

But, if you are 100's of miles from a town, and there is no road, guess what the chances are that somebody spent money to put a tower up?

yes...for the most part cell phones do work in alaska. they work in all the cities and in glacier bay. if you are in the middle of nowhere then they dont work...but it is better than most cruises. happy cruising!!!
