14 DAY TRIAL // Alltel, the fifth largest mobile carrier in the US, has announced the availability of Alltel Connect Packs, which represent a variety of bundle packages meant to allow its subscribers to make more use of their handsets' features and save money at the same time.
There are five Alltel Connect Packs to choose from, each of them including popular mobile applications that would cost more if bought separately.
The packages, their content and their prices are as follows:
– Connect Pack 1, available for 9.99 USD per month, includes Alltel Mobile Web and unlimited data minutes (which can be used for applications like Alltel TV and Celltop, as well as for games, ringtones and so on);
– Connect Pack 2, priced at $14.99, comes as a CP 1 upgraded with unlimited Alltel TV on Demand, Alltel Radio and a subscription to Alltel Ringback.
– Connect Pack 3 is comprised of the CP 1 content but it also includes unlimited messaging. CP 3 is priced at $19.99 per month;
– Connect Pack 4 will drain $24.99 out of you pocket on a monthly basis. For this amount of money, you receive all the CP 2 stuff, plus unlimited e-mail and messaging;
– Connect Pack 5 is the most expensive package and it obviously offers the highest number of features, including all the CP 4 content plus unlimited Alltel Navigation, unlimited access to My Cast Weather and a RealTone Jukebox monthly membership.
Any of the new Alltel packages can be yours if you go to an Alltel store or visit the carrier's official website.
“Consumers are personalizing their wireless devices and utilizing more data applications than ever before. Alltel’s new Connect Packs give customers control over their monthly bills while allowing them to keep their favorite entertainment and information applications,” declared Kristi Crum, Director of Multimedia Content for Alltel Wireless.
On a not-so-related note, you might not know (and want to find out) that Alltel is currently running an online promotion that allows users in need of a new contract agreement to buy handsets for lower prices (including LG clamshells for only 99 cents and BlackBerry Pearl smarthpones for $79.99).
