Larsen Bay Alaska coverage
My husband is fishing in Larson Bay Alaska an has no service is there anything I can purchase on TMobile to be able to communicate with him?
Looks like none of the big 3 have service or roaming there. Might need sat phone (iridium/starlink)

Title says "Larsen" body says "Larson". Alaska has one of each. Larsen Bay is a village, which is shown as covered on GCI's map but is not shown on T-Mobile's map.. My suggestion for the OP's hubbie is to try to manually search for and select GCI to see what happens. Failing that ask around for local WiFi access points. Unfortunately, there appears to be no GCI store/agent in or near Larsen Bay..
P.S. This is from the Larsen Bay Lodge website:

Wifi is available in the main lodge and throughout the majority of the property. GCI is the only cell provider that is available in Larsen Bay, but most cell phones work over wifi. For example, iPhones have a "wifi calling" feature that will allow your phone to work over wifi as if it were connected to a cellular network.
