cell phones in Hawaii
If I have a "national" cell phone plan on the mainland, will my cell phone "work" in Hawaii, or am I paying long distance and roaming fees? (I'm a veriozon customer). Also, are there areas of Hawaii where the cell phones don't work?

I've stayed at b&b's a lot, and they often don't have phones that are accessible to guests, or if they are, you don't want to tie them up so other people can't use them, and they may be in an area where you might be disturbing somebody by parking yourself on the phone. My cel phone has been very useful for travelling, for exactly that reason. Often there's a time difference between my vacation destination and home, and if I want to reach my family I have to call at odd times. I think it's quite legitimate to take a cel phone with you on vacation.

Just back from Hawaii - we have Verizon America's Choice and we had service on Kauai, Maui and the Big Island. The only time we did not have service was when we were on some mountaintop roads, in some valleys...just like at home.
We took our phones because it's cheaper than paying the hotel surcharge on phone calls (including local), because we have a business we needed to check on, and because a family member was expecting a baby and we needed to stay in touch.

I just changed my plan to "national" because they told me I should be able to call home anytime from Hawaii, as long as my triangle on my phone is blinking, if it is not moving they said I would be charged roaming fees. Just give them a call and they can check for you real quick. Yes, and don't forget about the possible 3 to 4 hour time difference. Have a great time!!!!
