Higher. I'm amazed at what relatives pay for similar service down in America.
It must be the shipping.

we kept our Alaska numbers and service when we left 6 years ago, taxes down here in the commie-wealth of VA would have cost us a lot more

AT&T is good if you have kids going outside for school as it's unlimited minutes long distance between phones in your plans, but otherwise is spendy.

Alaska Communications land line: $16.50 plus tax per month.
AT&T Cell phone:$60-$90 per month (including data) depending on plan.

Still hanging on to a land line here. Never had a dropped call with it.

Where we live there's no competition; GCI for cell service and the local co-op for land lines. Prices and service are commensurate with the amount of competition...

Land line prices are regulated by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska regardless of competition. http://rca.alaska.gov/RCAWeb/Documents/Reports/2016Telecomm.pdf
