Cell Phones

How is the cell phone coverage/reception at Aulani and the rest of Oahu? We have Verizon, just curious as far as dead zones and such. Would hate to be on a hike and lose service in the case of an emergency.

I've had good coverage on VZW all over Oahu.

We had no issues, but we did not hike.

If you have a newer iPhone you should be able to use Satellite communications if you get into a jam off grid. Also, again for emergencies, when calling 911 it doesn’t matter what network your are on, most modern phones will connect to any available network to complete the emergency call. If you are really worried about it you can also add T-Mobile’s Satellite feature to your phone (not changing service providers, but just adding this coverage option) and that would give you texting coverage as well as emergency services contact.
