Coverage in Alaska

Recommending public mobile to a friend, but wondering what the coverage is like in Alaska. Any suggestions?

Depending on the phone you have. You will manual connect to T-Mobile, At&T or Verizon when you are at the port of call.

On the cruise ship, you can connect the ship’s wifi.

You also need to enable VoLTE (voice over LTE).

No matter how you slice it or dice it. Will need a USA add on or a subscription that has Can/USA calling.
And if lives in Alaska need to check to see if PM frowns upon calling mostly from USA. I know Freedom Mobile does.

And as mentioned look at AT&T and T-Mobile coverage maps.

Just fyi. I have a balance at VoIP.ms. I used them for my land line. I have a Zoiper app and a VoIP,ms app. They run on data or unrestricted wifi. I can call out and show my mobile number as the caller id. But the app can’t be called to as I don’t have a DID. Is that feasible for you?

I haven't heard about Public Mobile warning anybody about too much US usage or cutting anyone off, so it should be fine.
