Of course Alaska doesn't count as most companies don't consider
Alaska as part of the USA (eg free shipping except AK/HI).
Back in 2012, I worked for Wallmart and we had many angry cell phone
customers who bought phones in the lower-48 and were assured they
worked in AK. They were given Verizon (which had just started
service in Anchorage & no where else in AK). They have expanded
service, now. But do not expect cell service off the road system (75% of AK).
On our trips driving out the Alaska Hwy thru Canada we had no service
anywhere in the Yukon or northern parts of BC or AB. Only got
service when we were within 200-miles of the US border (using Rogers
cell service that apparently partnered with AT&T).
Fortunately we had our KX3 + KXPA100 in the mobile (no worries), plus
in the Yukon there is linked repeaters on 146.52 covering most of the hwy.
