Hello All,
My name is Jacqueline and I live in Kalamazoo. (yes there really is a cool place named that) Our family are intersted in visiting. I know it will be a vacation but I need to know if NEXTEL works on the island.
Thank you

There is Nextel service in Charlevoix and Petoskey. Nextel phones do not work on the island.

How about T-mobile? Or what phones are useable up there? However, perhaps by next year others will be on the list!?!?!?

Hi there,
I just returned from Beaver Island last week. I use t-mobile and could not receive any signal on the island.
Plan on going without your cell phone during your visit. After all you are on Beaver Island.

We have Alltel, and were able to get a signal a good bit of the time while on the island this summer.

Thanks everyone for your responses. As long as I have it in service on my way up there, I should be ok. I would be coming from IL! I can't wait!

Any T-Mobile customer should have some service on the Island right now as T-Mobile has roaming agreements with Cellular One. Any GSM capable phone (which T-Mobile is) should work. A second GSM antenna is about to be installed on the Island and should be turned on by the end of November. Please see other Cellular articles posted on this forum.
