hello I a a recently switched attwireless to alltel customer. My number is located in OK . while the serice is great and I lve the free v710 they sent me I may end up using a lot of off network minutes. Does alltel have the same policy like attws that if you use 3 months or more off the company network they will ask you leave the company or use service more on their network? I am now in NYC. Attws had a deal with several partners that if you left a attws market you could transfer your service to another partner with no penalty. Is this the case with alltel? Do they have a deal with verizonwireless? thanks

with an appropriate plan most likely you will not have a problem. Most people can't even get out of the contract when they move out of an Alltel area. As long as you are using the phone in an area that Alltel has a good roaming agreement then you should be fine, most of the time you will roam on Verizon. If you are not sure call cust service and tell them the sitution and see what they say! If you transfer service you will get an ETF ☹️

My only issue at the moment is my phone is saying i ma roaming off verizon at the moment using the"americas roaming network" and is asking for a credit card. Cusotmer care is stumped. i ma hoping this is just a fluke

Two things make sure that your phone is not set to home only but rather standard scan you will find this under
menu(top middle key)>settings>network>set mode>standard scan

also you need to make sure your prl is up to date. this has to be done from your home towers, dial *228 and follow the voice instructions when you are done you will have prl ver...

thanks for the info. for some reason they are still not sure why verizon will not allow my calls to go through. they are checking the PRL, network settings. so far the v710 has a nice camera and love the screen detail.
