Jordan's Alltel vs Verizon Real Life Cell Phone Challenge

[2wowee]

stupid

[queenkeags]

Verizon users and get ANY signal in my parents neighborhood, but Alltel users can get at least 3 bars. There's seperate towers there at least.

This was a cool vid. I've had Verizon for 6 years and when I drove from Seguin, TX to Los Angeles I was a bit dissapointed with the service from Verizon. Only in major cities could I get an actual Verizon tower which meant that was the only time I could get on the web, use VZ navigator and so forth. That really sucked. However, I still will not use any other service provider. And now, when the merger is complete, that I-10 corridor should be almost perfect.

Its Official: Verizon Bought Alltel

[Fieryburrito11]

Hey did yall stop in Odessa?

[gjvideos2764]

dident verizon buy alltel?

[Fieryburrito11]

My dad owns an Alltel store and he said that Verizon bought alltel

[yomama5567]

can i get a free phone and service?

[Fieryburrito11]

we dont even get a discount wen we buy our phones. So my dad just paid 700 bucks for my treo 700wx. Unless you wanna buy a phone, ure not getting one

[yomama5567]

i was JOKING!!!

[Fieryburrito11]

I know, im just always like that! :p

[Hustino07]

That is odd. My mom works in a Verizon Customer Service center and she gets a free phone and free service on her line.

[hgallegos915]

well um I guess this doesnt matter much now ? lol

[arizonanic]

Alltel has always shared it's towers with Verizon you can't do * 228 when your roaming and it doesn't matter Verizon bought Alltel, there will be no more Alltel by the end of the year.

By the way I thought you did a good job on your video, I think it will be interesting to see Verizon become the biggest cell phone company in the United States

[corvinrok]

Thanks for the comment

[slapoutz]

@arizonanic i still have alltel and cant get verizon phones or anything.

[networkingdefence1]

bullshit. alltel has it's own towers.

[renfest]

Well with the merger it seems that All Tell is no longer going to be around and Verizon has them now .. I love my Verizon cell

[hgallegos915]

Well thats interesting.. I guess you guys didnt know that ALLTEL roams USING VERIZON towers.. yeah roaming agreements.. FLASHING roaming indicatos is flashing, SOLID is Scary because you are roaming on a provider that has no agreement.

Again.. if its flashing , most likely you got VERIZON signal heh.

[corvinrok]

Hello,

I am aware of the roaming agreements between the carriers, however thanks for you input.. One thing to add from PHX to Austin on I-10 if you look at lisencing maps it Verizon that roams on Alltel all through Texas..

Thanks for you comment and your time

Your claim is untrue. Alltel phones will blink indicator as soon as you are outside of your home area regardless of whether you pick up from alltel or other carriers. Based on footprint Alltel does have more coverage in areas tested. One of the reasons for the merger is Alltels capacity in midwest, south and southwest. Either way, Alltel is more likely to pick up from sprint (which is pretty bad) rather than verizon, until PRL 30034 is pushed though.

[destinationelp]

I was replying to a comment posted earlier, not the video by the way

[clintlamarmiller]

*228 only changes the prl in the phone so that did nothing fo you man. If you have an up to date phone that is more like a placebo. To bad for verizon, no one is buyin into that britian vodophone crap any more

[co678]

Yup, Alltel IIRC, only provides CA coverage around San Diego and around the Eastern Part of the state by Yosemite.

[corvinrok]

Yeah, Which is kind of a bummer, would be nice if it was Alltel's own coverage to test out there. Perhaps on that trial ill do a Verizon, AT&T, Alltel match, due to that factor.

[corvinrok]

In any case thanks for taking interest in my video, and the reasearch presented.

[co678]

Come to California and do that test...Verizon will kill Alltel, alltel covers like a total of 1% of the CA population.

[corvinrok]

co678,

I do plan on conducting a test in CA, from PHX TO LA on I-10. In addition Im aware that Alltel lacks there "own" towers in CA. So due to that factor it would be more of a test to Alltel's roaming partner in CA, which is shared by both Sprint, and Verizon. Nevertheless, it would still be good data to have.

Take Care & Thanks for the message,

Jordan

[tpander9]

um correction, co678 I was in California and got PERFECT signal all the way to Lone Pine.... this was first hand using my Alltel lg ax830 (glimmer) so it doesn't matter if they use other carriers towers. Verizon uses A LOT of Alltel towers as well

[charmedkim141]

i was just wondering if he updateed his towers with alltel i know i do when drive alot (*228) and also it depends on what plane he has i love alltel

[corvinrok]

Hello,

I thought I would reply to this comment. To answer your question, I do update my phone frequently with (*228), and did so before the test was conducted. Thank you for watching, I hope it helps you on information regarding coverage.
