The best one I've found for coverage is ACS Alaska. I'm not sure which big corportion that is, but if you went to there web sight I bet they'd tell you.

My son had Verizon when he went to school. His phone worked in Juneau when he came back for the summer. It was harder for him to get connected though. |
