Pros: Very decent Coverage Area, MyCircle, 1Year or 2Year contract options,very few actual roaming areas you will be charged in.
Cons: Long wait at some stores, long holds on customer service, My Account on Alltel.com sometimes isn't working.
Summary: I have been using Alltel Since 05/04/2006. I have never had a roaming charge on my bill. I travel from South Dakota clear down into Texas and never been charged for roaming. When I leave my home state of Nebraska my roaming indicator comes on and starts flashing. The Alltel people told me as long as it is flashing I will not roam. Guess what, they were right! Alltel is very fair with its' plans and phone prices. A lot of the bigger companies, Verizon, Cingular, Sprint do not offer 1 year contracts. Alltel does. This meens I can get a new phone every 9 months so I am never in an outdated phone. Alltel's mycircle lets me talk to my family members who have Verizon for free! With Mycircle I can talk to any land line number I choose for free also! I have a 900 day time minute plan but with mycircle, and mobile to mobile, I only use about 300. Alltel also has an unlimited text plan for $19.99. The bigger cell companies unlimited text is like $6.00 a month but they will charge you a ton if you send pics or videos. With alltel Pictures, videos, instant messaging, and audio sound messinging "like ring tones" are counted as text messages. With my unlimited text packet I also get mobile web! I can see weather radar, maps, directories, I can do my yahoo email and face book all from my razor. For everyone that thinks they are roaming check your indicator, if it is flashing or blinking you are okay. I would recomend alltel to anyone.
