Alltel Wireless Just About All Gone
October 22nd, 2009
This past January, Verizon Wireless became the nation’s largest wireless carrier, sealing a multi-billion dollar deal to acquire Alltel Wireless. Most Alltel markets have now been acquired by Verizon Wireless, and Alltel customers in those markets are now asking “Can you hear me now?”
As a condition of Verizon’s acquisition of Alltel, the FCC required that certain Alltel markets be divested and sold to other carriers. These remaining Alltel markets are scheduled to be sold to AT&T and Atlantic Tele-Network (ATN) in late-2009/early-2010. Customers in these markets will start receiving invoices from AT&T and ATN soon after the divestiture of these markets in completed in 2010.
As a result of these changes, Wirefly has decided to stop selling Alltel service. We continue to sell phones and service contracts for Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile across the US, and we believe one or more of these carriers will always be a viable choice for wireless customers residing in Alltel’s divested markets. To see what carrier choices you have where you live, enter your zip code on Wirefly and we will show you your best options.
