Adios, Alltel in Charlottesville!
Well, we've got just a couple of days to go here in the heart of central Virginia before Alltel is no longer available as an option for new service.
In the final analysis, Alltel was a superior service. The phones weren't all that exciting, but certainly more than adequate.
