What do you say Alltel subscribers? Ready for some good old Back to School promotion from your favorite carrier? Well get this! Alltel is ready to offer you three months free of charge for every new line you get. The promotion is available in the 91 markets where Verizon has to divest so not everyone will be able to take advantage of the offer. Paul Bowersock, Senior Sales & Operations Leader for the Alltel Divesture Trust said that:

Alltel has always placed a special emphasis on keeping families connected, and with this Back to School promotion, the entire family can talk, text or surf the Internet for less money and enjoy more flexibility in their wireless experience.

From now until September 10 customers with “My Circle” plans, Smart Choice Packs and Bundled Wireless Internet plans. They can add up to four new lines with a $25 activation fee per line. Is that good enough for you?
