Alltel No Coverage Southern CT?

Question

why is it that alltel serves almost everywhere except southern CT!!!???

they have great deals and I just happen to be in southern CT??

is there a way around this? I really don't understand why a CELL company doesn't have coverage in one (or two) parts of the US?

Answer 1

Alltel is a regional carrier only, they don't have service everywhere in the US.  Carriers like Verizon, Sprint, AT&T are national.  Alltel has roaming agreements, though, and usually has good coverage where available. If you experience trouble, dial *228 from your home area to update your roaming list (PRL). This can help resolve many issues
