Alltel Wireless Cell Phones - At The Cutting Edge

Unlike many other cell phone companies that have several calling
plans, Alltel Wireless offers only three plans. The Total
Freedom Plan is ideal for those who travel extensively on
business and need to keep in touch with clients and the home
office, as well as family. It provides coast to coast coverage
within the United States with no long distance or roaming
charges.

You can get between 200 and 3000 anytime minutes, 1000 night and
weekend minutes and 1000 mobile to mobile home minutes. The cost
for this Alltel plan ranges between $39.99 and $299.99 a month
depending on the amount of anytime minutes you choose. The cost
per minute for calls over your plan minutes is between $.40 and
$.20, again depending on the level of anytime minutes chosen.

Alltel relies on its National Freedom Plan to provide
subscribers in most medium to large cities with coverage.
However subscribers in smaller cities and rural areas or making
calls to these places may incur unexpected charges. The benefit,
however, is more anytime minutes in the same price range as in
the Total Freedom Plan. For instance the National Freedom Plan
gives 450 minutes for $39.95, while "Total Freedom" gives only
200 for the same amount.

The "Greater Freedom" plan is Alltel's offering to the casual
user who doesn't do a lot of traveling or who is considering
replacing their standard home phone with an Alltel Cell Phone.
For under $30.00 a month you can get 300 anytime minutes. At
$39.99 a month you get 700 anytime minutes, 1000 night and
weekend minutes and 1000 mobile to mobile home minutes. Alltel's
mobile to mobile home minutes refers to calls placed from one
Alltel cell phone to another Alltel user.

Alltel cell phone plans all offer the same basic features such
as voice mail, caller ID, 3-way calling, call waiting, call
forwarding and 411 information. Be cautious about these
features, some of them are not covered by all levels of the
plans and these charges can add up quickly. Recent research by
Consumer Reports show that these seemingly minor add ons can add
significant charges to your monthly bill. You need to make sure
you know what your coverage area is, what is considered roaming
and what the charges for these services are.

If you go prepared, know what type of service you need, make
sure you understand all of the features you want and the
associated charges, you will be sure to get an Alltel plan that
is right for you. Alltel's corporate philosophy is that
simplicity or ease of understanding, means sales. This has
allowed them to become and remain a viable contender in the
confusing world of cell phone carriers.

With approximately 12 million customers and an estimated 8
billion dollars in annual revenues, Alltel has fine tuned their
calling plans to insure that they are easy to understand. This
simplicity has been a strong catalyst for the sales and
longevity of this company.

Phones offered by Alltel are among the best on the market.
