Do the US travel plans cover Alaska? We purchased one last year and we didn't have any cell service. We were on a cruise and in cities with ports of call

hi @Judyw9991 no need for Airalo as PM's roaming works in Alaska

Automatic should pick up the AT&T signal, if not, just got to Settings , Mobile network and manually choose AT&T

problem with Alaska before has nothing to do with 3G. It was just PM's lost the roaming partnership with AT&T during that time.
With AT&T's partnership back now, people has been using roaming in Alaska in most major city areas there without problem

It looks like I was reading an older cached version.

Many reported roaming in Alaska does not work well. It could be a result of the shutdown of the 3G network in US. So far, these are the cities reported that are not working: Fairbanks, Anchorage, North Pole
You can look at https://www.airalo.com/ for affordable data plans and then download an app like TextNow is free calling and texting. You can use this VOIP programs via WiFi or on a data only SIM card.

(roaming now works on most cities, if not all, you mentioned above)
