Yes, since Verizon Wireless bought Alltel, you can use a Verizon Wireless phone on an existing Alltel plan.
Yes It Has Been Confirmed. Verizon And Alltel Can Talk For Free. Alltel Customers Can Use Verizon Phones On There Network And Everything!
Alltel phones offer consumers important alternatives to phones offered by other wireless networks. Once a major wireless player in the United States, Alltel now serves a limited coverage area. Several years ago, Verizon bought the firm, but was forced to sell its interest in 105 Alltel markets. AT&T bought most of those markets, but a company called Atlantic Tele-Network bought 26 of them to form the current Alltel network. Wireless customers who live in an Alltel market have a powerful choice when shopping for a new mobile phone.Alltel offers phones from all major handset manufacturers except Apple. These include products from HTC, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Research in Motion. As with most wireless carriers, customers who make a two-year service commitment get subsidized handset prices. In fact, shoppers can often get a free phone with a contract. A special selection of no-contract phones gives customers a chance to pay more for a phone in exchange for more freedom. When wireless users see all the popular Alltel phones offered to Alltel customers, they will want to learn more about Alltel services.Alltel phones including smartphones let customers join the mobile revolution that has transformed the way people use the Internet. These phones integrate with Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites. They also offer standard Internet access. Although Alltel has an unlimited smartphone plan, it only includes voice, text and pictures. Mobile data constitutes an extra monthly charge. Feature phone users with Alltel also have an unlimited plan available that offers unlimited voice and text. Alltel has several other service plans available that offer different services at a lower cost.A no-contract option offered by Alltel gives customers the chance to use wireless services without making a commitment. This can help people who already own Alltel phones or for people who want to avoid overextending themselves financially. Service for people without a contract generally costs more than standard Alltel service.
Yes some Motorola phones are compatible with Verizon but they cannot be a AT&T or Alltel, net10 etc. but they must be carried by Verizon of this doesn't help you also may call Verizon.... That is probably a smart thing to do ;)
There is no sim card in Verizon, Sprint, or Alltel phones. The reason is that they operate on CDMA technology which does not require sim cards.
Metro PCs is able to "flash" phones from other carriers for use with their service under certain conditions. The phones must be CDMA, meaning they do not use a SIM Card (Major CDMA carriers include Sprint, Verizon, Qwest, Cricket, Alltel). You will not be able to access all features of the service when using a flashed phone, these phones are good for calls and texting only. The phone does not be unlocked to be flashed.
In my experience from dealing with my Alltel prepaid, it depends on your area code. Some parts of the US are still managed by Alltel network. For instance, I moved from 912 (Hazlehurst Ga) to 813 (Tampa FL). 912 is still under Alltel, when I went to change my cell to the 813 area code, they informed me that I was in Verizon network now and not only would I have to pay through Verizon but I would also have to use Verizon's prepaid plans. Easier way to find out is if you still have Alltel stores in your area, then most likely you'll pay Alltel.
You can't use Verizon service on ATT phones or any other GSM phones. Verizon runs on a different frequency, which ATT phones do not support.
Alltel is now a portion of the Verizon network before the merger the unlimited use on the Alltel prepaid phone was $22.50 a month. The new unlimited standard now for a prepaid phone is $45 now.
"Yes. All phones need a SIM card, or it will not function." Actually, that answer is incredibly wrong. SOME phones use SIM cards. Some phones don't. A phone on the Verizon, Alltel, or Sprint networks do not use SIM cards as they operate on CDMA platforms. iDEN (an ancient Nextel system) or the global standard GSM (AT&T) use SIM cards.
T-Mobile phones do not work with Verizon's Service. T-Mobile phones use Sim Cards and Verizon does not, so they are not compatible.
If you are more comfortable in the use of a Verizon wireless phones then you don't need to purchase other brands of wireless phones. Verizon wireless phones are more user friendly and they come cheap.
Many companies give their employees cell phones to use while they are doing business. Alltel Wireless cell phones are used in many government offices as well in many industrial businesses.
