Each phone has specific number assigned to it, so the computer will see it right away. ONly certain alltel devices will activate now, so if your device isn't on that list it might not work

In order to activate an Alltel device you must be on an Alltel plan. You can not activate an Alltel device on a Verizon plan at all. *228 only works with a smartphone when you already have a data pack compatible with that phone on your account.
