Verizon Blackberry on the Alltel network?

Unfortunatly, because this is a Verizon phone, you should be able to do everything except using the mobile web. Everything else should work OK, though. Remember that, because this is a Verizon device, it is going to be originally programmed for Verizon and may pick up other networks which might charge you for roaming and there is no guarantee that everything will work perfectly 100% of the time.

Can you use a Verizon device on the Alltel network? Yes, but generally speaking it's better to use an Alltel device.

 

You can dial *228 while on the Alltel network with your phone programmed with your Alltel information and it might work but it probably won't. Hard to do with a Verizon device. Even still, things might not work 100% correcly.

 

It won't work. I've talked to many customers who have managed to get a different carrier's phone onto Alltel. Each time they have tried the *228 update and still get tons of roaming - none of which we adjust off. Sorry, but if you want to use Alltel you need to do it properly and use an Alltel phone. If you choose to keep your old network's phone, they you are just going to have to pay the roaming fees for that privilege.
