  1. Can you offer service on phones that are not purchased through Alaska DigiTel?
    The service center cannot and will not convert phones purchased from the web or other carriers. For example, the Chocolate is available only from Verizon which has internal programming that cannot be taken out and will dramatically reduce the quality of coverage when using the phone outside our network. Verizon and other carrier hard code programming into the phone to block other large carrier’s sites. Since our main roaming partner is Sprint, these phones will block all sprint sites thus reducing our coverage drastically or the phones will not work at all.
