Alltel Brings Back One-Year Contracts
Jun 4, 2009, 8:30 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Today Alltel announced that it will offer customers one-year contracts as the new standard instead of two-year contracts. Alltel said that the new contracts are available starting June 5 to all new and renewing customers. Alltel said that customers signing one-year contracts will receive the same handset discounts that would normally be given only for two-year contracts. The one-year contracts are available in the 91 markets that are currently being divested by Verizon Wireless, which span a number of states.
