Pros: Good signal, good plans, nice phones.Cons: Texting is way more expensive than any other companySummary: I like alltel. It is one of the few companies that i have a good signal at my house. We have a good plan for a good price. BUT the texting is so much more expensive than all the other companies. What you pay for 300 , you could get unlimited elsewhere. It is rediculous. For unlimited it is a whoping 20 bucks. That is outragious.

Pros: No suprise charges, free night&weekends, affordable, usually a strong signalCons: Honestly, I haven't had any negative experience thus far.Summary: The thing I like most about alltel is that you get exactly what you sign up for. I am not plagued by random charges like my friends with cingular, nor are my calls dropped frequently like those I know with T-mobile. I almost always have a strong signal even though I live in a rural area, and I almost never have dropped calls. I don't know too much about the customer service, because I have never had to call them, no problems to speak of.

Pros: Phone goes dead too fastCons: dont like the phones they haveSummary: I can charge my phone today and tommorrow it's dead. This is my second phone and my last. My Granddaughter had Alltel and she left. I dont know when my contract runs out, I might have to pay for leaving so what.

Pros: GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PHONES, GREAT CUSTMER SERVICECons: noneSummary: I have been with alltel for 4 months now and it is the greatest phone company out there. They have good service and they are just good. I use to be with sprint and i hated it so much they never had service in raul areas but not alltel your phone works in raul areas and you can use your phone on digital and antlog networks but it is mostley digital. I love every minute of it. yes i would recommend this company to anyone. I have a lg ax490 and i love it to. But when you are in antlog area's mostley you can send and recive text and make calls but most of the time you will be in ditigal area. And if you travel to the country this is a great company for you.

Pros: Wide-range coverage, My Circle, Free Mobile-to-Mobile and Mobile-to-Home, Nights/Weekends begin at 7PM, awesome phone choices, variety of minutes packages, terrific customer service!Cons: Can't think of any!Summary: I've had Alltel for 6+ years now and wouldn't dream of switching. Every time I shop around (because that's the wise thing to do), I either don't find anything better, or Alltel sweetens the deal by matching a competitor's offer. What's not to love?

Pros: Their phones are lower priced, and they have good rate plans.Cons: No signal/service, dropped call.Summary: The problem is that you can't get service and you get dropped constantly. We have an alltel service center across the street from our local Supercenter, but can I call anyone when i'm there? No. When I try to dial out, I get a message from a different cell carrier telling me to please hang up and try again. Meanwhile, people are walking by me talking successfully on cell phones! I live less than 10 miles from a tower and can't get a signal in my home. The land around here is as flat as a pancake, so there are no mountains or hills/valleys to deal with either. I am so disgusted, I've been looking into different providers when my contract ends in March. I wouldn't have stayed with them, but was told there were more towers going up, but no dice. I started with Cellular One and hoped it would improve as Alltel, but after 9 years of hoping, I'm done with them. There has to be something better!

Pros: I love the plan i have from alltell because for one you never roam, second you get free mobile to mobile, Third you get free night and weekends. And You get free long distance so you can stay in touch with you family, Plus you get a whopping 500 minutes a month for only 45 bucks a month what more could you ask for. I love alltell!!!!Cons: noneSummary: Alltell is the best company out there nothing beats alltell plus freindly staff and employess so if you are thinking about getting a phone alltell is the place to get one!!!!!
By: Joan Gipson on Thursday, November 02, 2006 From: Akron, OH (United States) Experience: 10 Years
Pros: One of my phones has worked with no problem regardless of how it has been dropped , plopped or otherwise degraded.Cons: I have a second phone that we have taken back several times because it has not worked properly since we got it. They replace the phone but wont replace the battery... which is the obvious problem. Now they say since we have had it over a year I will have to pay for a new phone or pay $50 deductible for my current phone to be repaired. Every time I try to talk to them they want to give me a sales pitch. I have talked to a store rep as well as the 611 number. I am looking for a new provider. Summary: Alltel has been questionable in its honesty from the beginning of my contract and now my suspicions have been confirmed. I cant wait for the end of my contract!!!

Pros: At least can get service out in the boondocksCons: Lose carrier services easilySummary: Alltel is good for the most part. Can get service in remote area but occasionally lose contact while talking. It works well when in Elko county or Humboldt county very well though.
