ALLTEL U Prepaid company profile

Cons: Data charges with picture messages, voicemail charges, lack of coveragearea.

Summary: I live about 2.5 hours south of Atlanta GA. I’m always back and forth on i-75 to Atlanta. Once I pass Cordele GA I can not receive any phone calls. Even when I’m in Atlanta i cannot make calls until I pass back through Cordele going home. I can receive calls but not make them. I have to text people to tell them to call me and sometimes the texting does not work. That’s a bad thing if you ever get lost in Atlanta. I thought it was because i was on the pay per day so I changed to a pre paid plan and still the same thing. They say picture messages are $.25 but they forget to tell you that they will add an extra $.10 because of data transfer. Do that equals up to $.35 to receive and send a picture. I do not understand there coverage area. I would not recommend Alltel to travelers. Also if you have a pay per day or pay per minute, if you don’t answer your phone and it goes to your voicemail that will be $.10 even if they didn’t leave a voice mail. So their plan is to get all you money regardless !!!
