If you purchased an Alltel cell phone plan a few years ago, you need to remember that these plans are now Verizon cell phone plans. Verizon purchased Alltel and all customers were transferred over to the new company. You will need to go on the Verizon website to order new phones, to change your plan, or to check your bill. You will also be able to get service at any of the Verizon stores.
It depends. You should still have Alltel until you get a letter in the mail saying you have Verizon. After you get the letter, you have to get Verizon phones and plans (you can keep all current phones and plans once u change to Verizon) Before you get the letter, you can still change to an Alltel phone or plan but Verizon customers cannot get Alltel stuff. Since it is already March, and if you did not get a letter saying you're gonna transition to Verizon than the merger is not gonna affect you . If u want to stay alltel once u get the letter, u can call customer service and request to stay on same plan as alltel customer. the letter does not state this, but my mom did it. she's still on prepaid alltel plan. prepaid alltel had Unlimited text, whereas, prepaid verion does not.
Personally, I have had an Alltel cell phone and I have also had Verizon and T-Mobile. My suggestion is to use T-Mobile because they have a greater coverage area and their plans are cheaper.
If you would have to choose between Alltel and Verizon, I would first check them both out and see what their plans are. If you like one more than the other, pick that one.
There are many websites that compare the different cell phone companies. Letstalk.com, wirefly.com, and myrate.com are just a few. These sites compare phone plans from Verizon, Alltel, Sprint, and others as well.
Alltel offers a wide variety of mobile phone packages. These include prepaid packages, individual plans, family plans, and data plans for as low as thirty dollars per month.
You can get information about Verizon plans on their website or at a Verizon retail location. You can also read blogs and posts about the Verizon plans available.
No, Verizon has a home phone plan where you have a home phone connected to Verizon. Verizon has good reviews for their home phone plans.
Alltel offers student discounts for cell phone plans. Students get good discounts including for texting. These discounts get the company more consumers.
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.
No they are not. Verizon phone plans are better. They may be a bit more expensive, but they have better coverage. The coverage of Virgin is a bit sketchy and patchy. If you want reliability, go with Verizon.
Verizon offers family plans for cell phones that are affordable
Yes, Verizon does offer prepaid plans for some of their phones. Verizon makes it affordable to own one of their phones.
