Alltel Implements 1-Year Agreements with No Increase in Phone Pricing in Divested Markets

Alltel has announced in a press release that it will begin offering 1 year agreements within the 91 markets that will be divested/sold by the carrier as a condition of the purchase by Verizon Wireless.

The aforementioned markets will operate as Alltel Wireless until they are sold to the highest bidder, including the areas being acquired by AT&T pending regulatory approval with Idaho, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia being excluded due to Verizon Wireless actively managing the sale of those markets.

Final prices for phones and devices will not be increased as a result of the 1 year agreement, with substantial savings on some models.
