My phone tells me who the carrier is. Cable & Wireless in the Cayman
Islands, Telmex in Cozumel, Orange or O2 in Australia. On the ship it
will be Cellular @ Sea. With AT&T there are specific rates from each
country. For Mexico I can pay $.45 a minute without the optional
international calling or $.25/min with it. SMS is $.50 a pop
regardless of location.

In Alaska you should have your own carrier. Assuming you have any
signal at all. I'm not sure who it is in Canada.
