RADIOS & TELEPHONES
FRS (Family Radio Service) radios are recommended. The NPS monitors FRS 1. These radios are also very useful for communication with other expeditions. These radios are line-of-sight and their usefulness depends upon your location on the mountain.
Cellular telephone service is generally available in the area, but coverage is limited in the mountains. Access is better at higher elevations (above 14,000 feet) depending on your location, however coverage fluctuates from year to year as technology changes. The two primary carriers are AT&T Wireless and Matanuska Telephone Association (MTA) Wireless, the latter of which maintains reciprocal agreements with carriers from around Alaska and the Lower 48 states. Climbers should check with their cellular service provider to see if cell coverage is possible.
Satellite phones work well in most areas and can be rented from:
