Cell phone coverage has made it to the village!
Tundra Drums: Cell phones the latest rage in Bush Alaska
So far, we can get a signal on Sara's pre-paid phone she bought in Anchorage last spring while she was there waiting for Isaac to arrive, but we can't actually use it as we're not on the same plan. We get 3 bars of signal, but the display reads "emergency use only". Still, it's good to know that it works in an emergency. As for my phone, it's on the Sprint network, so it's still useless 'til I get down to the lower 48.
But if GCI has brought a cell signal to Nunap, might internet be close behind? We can only hope...
