In terms of carriers, this means that Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, and Sprint work. (Yes, Anonymous #5, I use my Sprint on the Island all the time). ATT and T-Mobile, the GSM carriers do not.<br /><br />ATT does have GSM coverage out of Hatteras and if you REALLY need to make a call, you can usually get a signal at the ferry dock to Hatteras.Tom in Plano, TXhttp://seacoralcottage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-89244650886469365852010-03-16T11:31:39.031-04:002010-03-16T11:31:39.031-04:00Priority passes -- Here is the latest: I checked w...Priority passes -- Here is the latest: I checked with Hatteras Operations this morning and the stickers are still not here. They will continue to honor the 2009 stickers until they get new ones. Keep checking with Hatteras on a weekly basis - it should be anytime now. Call 986-2353 and whoever answers the phone will be able to tell you whether or not the stickers are in.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11755628364871122881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-31715591978516553872010-03-16T11:01:19.576-04:002010-03-16T11:01:19.576-04:00Verizon bought out Alltel.

For a long time only Alltel provided service here, but that has changed. Someone recently left a comment with detailed information about this but I can't locate it. Perhaps someone with current information can update us all about cell phone service on Ocracoke.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-40152070969760818772010-03-16T03:07:00.346-04:002010-03-16T03:07:00.346-04:00Philip, another unrelated question...
