I recently asked a sales slug at a kiosk if Alltel had unlimited text
messaging like Suncom, and they said yes. I didn't think much of it,
the data bursts for the 160 characaters has to consume less than 1
minute of compressed speach. Compared to me dialing into my modem bank

I have a Nokia 5185i on Alltel in Canton, OH. At my house, I get a
poor signal on the home network. However, when it goes to roaming, I
get a great signal. I have no roaming charges ever, so I want to
know if I can hack this phone so it will always go on roaming.

Just did a *228 on my Alltel phone (v60i) and noticed version 703 of the PRL
is out?
When did this come out?

I am in the wireless business and handle most of the nations top cellular
carriers. I also read the newsgroups for most of these carriers. One thing
everyone needs to keep in mind is that most of the people who sign up for a
wireless service are not happy with something about it by ...

Radio Shack part number 17-318.  Decent quality mag mount antenna for 800
MHz cellular band. 3db whip, strong magnet, and rugged coax (about the size
of RG-58). TNC coax fitting.
If you can find them, the price is two dollars!  Ask your local Radio Shack

Why is it that Alltel (and Verizon) don't offer Nokia phones, at least
according to Phonescoop?  Are the Kyoceras that much better?

This is one carrier I've never heard of?

Does Alltel offer an emergency plan?  With some providers it's not
advertised but available.  I'm not talking about prepaid plans.

Can I buy a V60i phone from another vendor and use it on alltels
network? I assume I would need a CDMA version, but could I program the
number and go? Or would I need their assistance.

Does anyone here know an easy way to check how many "anytime" minutes you
have remaining in the current billing cycle?
A quick google search of this group and the alltel website didn't turn
anything up for me.  Thanks for any help.

Just wondering if anybody knows how I can make my Motorola 120e switch
towers / providers, I can be riding along with friends that have Cingular
all over south Louisiana and they can talk almost anywhere and me with
Alltel can't.  I'm on alltel national freedom.

Does alltel have bluetooth enabled phones? I have a tungsten T handheld

I'm going up to those areas this weekend, and I'm curious if Alltel has
converted them to digital, or if they are still AMPS?
Anyone been there in the last few days?
