Drown-no-more Samsung B2100. Have you ever drowned your cell phone? More than one? Three or more? Whoo-boy. You need the B2100 from GCI. It’s just $40 with a two-year contract. Data capable. Check it out.

Unlimited. I like the sound of that. GCI‘s unlimited plans let you talk…and talk…and talk. And text…and more. Nationwide unlimited plan: just $100/mo. Alaska unlimited plan: just $55/mo.

GCI is the official techno-toy store for the Alaska Travelgram! Don’t forget about the free Blackberry 101 classes!! Four new classes now are available in Anchorage at GCI’s store near the corner of C St. and Northern Lights Blvd. These classes are FREE! Learn more about your Blackberry SmartPhone!

Xtreme Mobility. I’ve talked about this before–but I’ll say it again. This little USB device saves me on a  regular basis. No need to depend on irregular, undependable or expensive wireless networks. Plus in this wireless card for fast internet–it’s just $20/mo for all GCI Cable Modem customers. Check it out here.

GCI has all the tools for today’s traveler. Visit the website, or check out the nearest GCI store throughout Alaska.

I keep missing these free seminars, but I’m determined to get to the next available “Blackberry Campus” lab sponsored by GCI.  In November, there are four sessions scheduled: Nov. 5, 14, 19 and 21. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

Okay-I know my phone is smarter than me. But hopefully, with this class, I’ll be able to make some progress. Join me at one of the classes–a Blackberry expert from GCI will lead the class through the basics (messaging, emails, etc.) plus more advanced tricks.

The classes are limited to 10 people–and they’re held at GCI‘s store in Anchorage at Northern Lights and C St. There’s no additional charge for the classes–they’re free.

While I’m on the road, I depend on my Crackberry, as well as my “Xtreme Mobility” wireless card for my laptop. Heck–I used it today when visiting folks in their office. It’s fast and convenient!

The wireless card is $20/mo. when you have GCI Cable at home. Get it. It’s worth it.

DId I mention how much I love my new wireless card from GCI? How portable it is? How fast it is? How doggone affordable blah blah blah?

Not kidding, folks. I wandered down to the GCI store at C St. and Benson here in Anchorage to sign up for their “Xtreme Mobility” package. Since we have GCI cable at home, we qualify for the $20/month plan. As you can see from this photo, the wireless unit itself is small–about the size of a USB thumb-drive. It slips right into your USB port on your laptop:

It’s a great way to break free from the tyranny of variable-quality/nonexistent wi-fi hotspots. Or, worse, the dreaded “pay to surf” plans at evil hotspots like Starbucks. Yecch.

GCI’s fastest footprint for this CDMA wireless service is the greater Anchorage area, Fairbanks, Soldotna, Seward and Palmer-Wasilla. I’ve used it in Anchorage and Soldotna–and I’m headed to Fairbanks next week to check it out. Stop by a GCI store in Alaska today, or surf to the site for more details. Full report to follow. In the meantime, Happy Surfing.
