ALLTEL Wireless user review

3.7

Pretty decent prices and plans, good coverage and reception most of the time

Experience: 7 Months
Pros: Nearly all the plans offer free nights and weekends and free mobile to mobile.

Cons: You have to get a 59.99 or higher plan to get mycircle. They also don't have quite as big of a selection of phones as other carriers.

Summary: I have been a prepaid customer for a while and have been pretty satisfied with it. It has been good for a prepaid plan, most carriers want you to buy minutes every 30 or 60 days, and some take two or three times as many minutes off your balance as what you really used. Alltel is pretty fair, and I liked that you get to choose nights and weekends, mobile to mobile, fave number or unlimited text with their prepaid. As far as the regular contract service is, I have only been a customer for a short period of time, but I am satisfied so far. They approved me for service without a deposit when other carriers would not. They also have good rebates on the phones with a contract. Great customer service, quick delivery. Their plan fits all my needs, I have 700 minutes for 40 bucks, with night and weekends, mobile to mobile, free long distance, along with the basics, like caller ID and call waiting. I am disappointed that I could not get MyCircle unless I got a plan 59.99 or up. I guess they would not be making as much money if they gave it to everyone, but I wish they would, then I would be 100% satisfied with them.
