I use Cingular who stated that their phones will work in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico but when I attempted to call I was unsuccessful since (according to the operator) I needed some type of code. I called Cingular and it is like talking to the wall.<BR><BR>If you plan on calling you can rent a phone from I Hear You 1-877-746-6351. It is rather expensive unless you plan to make a ton of calls and then it is a bargain compared to calling from the ship or even on the islands with a calling card.<BR><BR>Paul

I have Verizon (not America's Choice but the other national plan). I chose it specifically because this was the only service to show complete local coverage of Alaska. We were in Alaska July-Aug 2002 and I used it to call my daughter in Long Island, NY in all the ports in the inside passage, and it worked fine. I was really amazed when I used it in Princess Mckinley Wilderness Lodge way out in the interior of Alaska and the service was excellent. I may be sounding like a rep for Verizon (I am not!) but I just wanted to let you know that their signal reached into the wilds of Denali State Park.

I use At&T took my cell fone to Europe and it worked!!! But only with countries that they have an agreement with. If the ship is near a port or if you can see land then the cell fone works. I even received text messages. I used the cell fone on an Alaska cruise as well.
