I split my time between Arkansas and Alaska. I have a nationwide Alltel plan (Arkansas number) which works great in the lower 48 and in the large cities in AK but will not work in Kotzebue, AK where my home is. OTZ Telephone (local phone co.) only has roaming agreements with AT&T and Cellular One.

I want to keep my Arkansas number but change to a Cingular nationwide plan which will work in the lower 48 and also in Kotzebue. Is this possible? A Cingular rep told me I would need a GAIT phone but that they do not sell any. Rep said the only GAIT phone which would work is a Motorola C331t. Does this sound right?

Correct any current Nation plan can support a GAIT phone. You just have to find a GAIT phone first... 😁

I may be able to help you...
