Many people use Alltel. My entire family does and we are spanned across the map from Georgia to California (East to West.) And Florida to Indianna (North to South.) Some have gone so far as purchasing their phones in other states since Alltel stores are not available every where.
I'm going to tell you why. With Alltel you get FREE mobile to mobile - anytime - meaning we can call each other whenever we want or need to. Which is great in an emergency. Also we get 5, 10, or 20 FREE call numbers that we can call Anytime we want. Most of use these numbers for our friends or elderly family members who do not have cell phones so we can call them regulary and they don't have to carry long distance that they can't afford. Most of us get the the 10 Free numbers because we have the 79.00 dollar plan since we need 2 phones. A second phone is 7.95 a month. Once you've been with Alltel for more than a year you begin earning Bonus numbers. For example - we now have 11 numbers we can call free. So we put the pharmacy on the free list. When your contract is up you do not have to re-sign a new one, you can just go month to month with the same benifits. Also you can change your plan anytime, as many times as you want whether you are under contract or not - at no cost. We always have great service, we never go over our minutes (1300) how could you with all the free stuff? Oh, and our nights start at 7pm instead of 9pm like most others. Not that it really matters in our case since our 1300 minutes are basically left open for "other" necessary calls.
So, we WONDER why isn't everyone on Alltel? We live in the sticks and Alltel is the only phone that works out here. It works no matter where we go and as long as your Digital roaming it is free. But it also tells you what kind of roaming your doing.
What I wonder is are we going to lose all our great bennies when Verizon takes over????
