Can't say I have had any problems with goat shafts while using alltel's network.

no matter what one thinks of the "goat shaft" of a network that is alltel's network, the phone is cdma and both sprint and verizon have an open networking allowing other phones to be used ... keep that in mind

VERIZON HASN'T PASSED THAT OPEN USER AGREEMENT THROUGH YET. I WORK FOR VZW AND THAT WILL BE UPCOMING WITHIN MONTHS TO COME, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU KNOW A HACKER THAT KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING....WHICH WHEN IT COMES TO CELL PHONES...CANT SAY THAT I DO. THE PHONE LOOKS GREAT...BUT IF YOU'VE EVER HAD ALLTEL IN COLORADO WHICH IS A JOKE AND DOESNT EVEN WORK IN MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS...NOT EVEN DENVER, THATS JUST DOWNRIGHT RETARDED. THATS MY BEEF WITH ALLTEL. IF YOU DONT HAVE VERIZON IN COLORADO, MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS PISSED OFF AT THEIR SERVICE PROVIDERS. END OF STORY.

Interesting that the Verizon guy says that our service sucks in Denver, considering that in every major market that consumer reports compared both Alltel and Verizon, Alltel was the preferred carrier 68% of the time, an was ranked either 1st or second in all submarkets surveyed. From where do you draw your facts. We dont have to be in NYC, we're been kicking your ass for years, to the tune that we haven't heard all that buyout foolishness either. Or was it that you couldnt afford the $71.50 that TPG paid for us considering your stock was less than half of that. WOW!!

why don't you just type in the first letter of the name on the keypad?

I have ued my Alltel phone all over ohio. I have taken it with me to NYC, Denver, all over Florida, Cali, Indiana and AZ. Never had an issue in any of those places. I had done the same with ATT and VZW but had issues with both. I will not even go down the path of my expirience with Sprint.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the glimmer would come to Verizon or if the new Open Handset thing (whatever it is) means that you can bring this phone over to Verizon.

I inguired about switching from Verizon to Alltels servie. I was informed by Alltel that they do not have a tower with in 70 miles of Denver or an Altel store anywhere around Denver. They also would not reccomend going with their service because they could not offer a good coverage area.

I have to disagree with #12 I live in Fort Collins which is a little over 60miles north of Denver and I get excellent service! The only down fall is the closet Alltel retail store is in Cheyenne, WY. Alltel by far has the best service and plans I have experienced compared to other companies

I am no sure how you could disagree with #12's comments. I also live in Denver and inquired about Alltels service and was informed of the same thing. The Alltel rep informed me they they could not provide me with a local phone number and the closest tower was in Limon. They also informed me they they would not roccomend there service at this time. No one is saying Alltel has bad service, we are just expressing what Alltel has informed us.

IF this is such a great phone how come it only comes in one carrier??...Will it ever be available in AT&Ts carrier?
18. (unregistered) posted on 11 May 2008, 15:26 0 0
It only comes in one carrier because alltel paid off verizon, just like how at&t paid off apple to have the iPhone exclusively with them for 2 years

Actually Attel isn't the only one with the phone. USCelllular has it too.
