GSM vs Alltel
I was looking at GSM from Cingular and Suncom and the great thing about those companies, if you ever want a new phone, just get one off ebay and switch your sim card back and forth.
...
I fyou ever want a new ph. with Alltel or any other CDMA carrier just get one off ebay and call in the esn.
...
But I thought if its still registered with another user or something that your up S**t creek? How does it work? What to look for on Ebay?
...
You need a ph. that is registered on alltel's network, it needs to be gps capable and that's pretty much the only requirements. Try searching ebay for something like "alltel Cellular phones" something along those lines! unless there is a specific model you want then just type in the model #
Let me know how it turns out????
...
Yeah you should be able to call it in and if you buy it it should no longer be active.
to another account.

Ok you can purchase a CDMA phone like a verizon and I think US Cellular phone and it should work no problem. Now I have seen some ppl use sprint phones but I think those are tricky. Also if you purchase a phone thats active on a Verizon account or any other carrier besides alltel, it will work. If you purchase a phone that is deactivated on alltels network for non payment, take it to your local Alltel store, explain you purchased it off ebay and have them call into RAC so they can release the ESN so you can use it on your account. I do that alot with my customers.

SO what kind of cool phones could I get off EBAY to use with Alltel, like the LG 8000?
Or the awesome Samsung megapixel camera phones? Or the Audiovox 8940?
...
I know my friend had Verizon's LG something model with a camera and now is using it with alltel but he can not send pics. only text messages...
...
Lg should work but the samsung is a little suspect.
