Alltel Coverage Maps - "Home Area"?

well, on the National Freedom plans, Night & Weekends apply everywhere in the NF network. On the Total Freedom plan (no roaming anywhere), N&W only apply in your home area. Just thought I'd clear that one up, as it seems to be something a lot of people don't completely understand. And yes, on the TF plan, N&W applies in the smaller shaded local area only. Anywhere else, anytime minutes apply even if it's nighttime or a weekend.

 

Cryogenic don't forgot about the local freedom plans. Typically there is a shaded area where night and weekend minutes apply with ALLTEL and then a "extended area" that pulls from your anytime minutes.

 

Oh, yeah... I always forget about the local freedom plans. I know in the Tri Cities, the local area goes down to Morristown, TN... then past that through Knoxville is extended where it's still not roaming, but N&W don't apply.

 

Try this link...put in your zip code and see if that helps any....

Also, if you will browse back a couple of weeks, I posted some Alltel service numbers.....I'm sure that if you contact them, they would be more than happy to mail you the latest coverage maps.

Good luck,

It looks to me like the "wireless" is Alltel's areas... I don't think N&W will apply in ALL of the dark blue in VA. I believe if you're in the Tri-cities, N&W will apply in the blue section in SW VA... if you're in Richmond, you'll most likely get that big hunk of blue on the eastern side of the state. Granted, I'm only speculating here, but I do know that the Tri-Cities market is its own home area, so it would not be included as an area where N&W would apply if your plan is based out of, say, Richmond.

 

The map you've put up is NOT an ALLTEL coverage map for the purposes of where your airtime applies but instead is part of ALLTEL's investor relations web page showing licensed areas that ALLTEL can offer service. The dark shaded areas are where ALLTEL offers service to customers.

Look under wireless phone plans for coverage maps.

 

The light shaded area is SE VA's local calling area. You can only use your features (Call ID, Voicemail notification, N/W minutes, M2M minutes) in this area if you are on ANY PLAN EXCEPT National Freedom. Your features go with you with Nat. Freedom.

Total Freedom is limited to this local area as well.

You are correct by saying that alltels total freedom is like at&T digital one rate "NO roaming or LD charges with in the 50 states"

National Freedom: Covers Alltel/Verizon and selected partners. There are areas where you will roam at 69C a minute
