Alltel's modern history begins in 1983 when Allied Telephone and Mid-Continent Telephone merged. Mid-Continent Telephone was founded by Weldon W. Case and his younger brother, Nelson H. Case. The elder Case became Alltel's first chairman and headquartered the company in Hudson, Ohio. In 1985, Alltel launched its first wireless system in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1993, Alltel opened its first wireless retail store. In 1997, the company's wireless and wireline businesses were combined into a single organization.

Network technology

Alltel's networks consist of analog and digital systems operating primarily on the 800 MHz cellular band, much like Verizon Wireless. Native Alltel markets consist of both analog (AMPS) and digital (CDMA) technologies. Approximately 76 percent of markets have been outfitted with 3G 1xEV-DO digital technology, which allows for additional battery life and faster download times when using Internet or BREW-based applications.^[7] Alltel has posted a three phase turn down schedule^[8] in response to the FCC decision stating that by March 1, 2008 A and B side carriers are no longer required to support analog. The analog systems are currently being phased out and will be retired by the end of 2008.

Network coverage

There are currently Alltel-owned and operated networks in parts of 35 states. Alltel uses roaming agreements with competing providers to provide coast-to-coast service. Roaming agreements in the United States are primarily with Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel. The company also has agreements with Canadian cellular providers, including Telus and Bell Mobility. Since many of these roaming partners operate in the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz CDMA band, Alltel customers on national calling plans are required to use tri-mode (800 AMPS, 800 CDMA, 1900 CDMA) or dual band (800 CDMA, 1900 CDMA) handsets.

Commercials

Alltel is the first cell phone company to make fun of other major companies through its advertising. After Alltel's November 2004 announcement that Campbell-Ewald of Detroit would be their primary advertising agency,^[13] Alltel used lookalikes of rival cell phone companies' primary advertising characters along with Alltel's spokesman^[14] (played by comedian Chad Brokaw^[15]). After a little bit of trouble,^[16] the promotional campaign featured this notice on television and the website: "Our lawyers would like to inform you some of the characters you see here are not associated with Alltel. They are look-alikes. The characters, not our lawyers." In the first commercial, at an Alltel store, Alltel representative Chad spoke to representatives of five competitors (Verizon's "Can you hear me now?" guy, a man resembling Sprint's former "trenchcoat" pitchman, "Jack," the animated Cingular figure and a Catherine Zeta-Jones look-alike) to his circle. A second commercial was set in a bowling alley. The third commercial took place in a court room, with the faces of the other carriers blurred.^[17] In "The Century's Trial of the Century," Edward Maxwell Von Houten, attorney for the People Against My Circle Foundation, sued Chad for attempting to force people into calling circles.^[18] Campbell-Ewald is an American advertising agency. ...

After that, Alltel started a series of commercials involving Chad, bragging about Alltel's service and using the theme music "Come and Get Your Love". The parodied competitors, called "Sales Guys," took the forms of four stereotypical geeks ^[19] who are perpetually frustrated by their failures and less popularity, even going so far as to harass and threaten him, albeit with less than effective results. The geeks are played by Alltel employees Matthew Brent (Verizon), Scott Halberstadt (AT&T), Ian Gould (T-Mobile), and Michael Busch (Sprint),^[15] who was later replaced by Adam Herschman.^[20] Each representative wears a shirt with the color of the company they represent.

The campaign even went so far to include a MySpace page and Campbell-Ewald Digital created The Man Cave with its own web site.^[14] The fourth and fifth commercials features employees of other carriers' mall stores trying to convince Chad to end My Circle with $8.00. The sixth has Chad giving RAZR's as Christmas gifts to them. Since this service and advertising campaign started, other carriers started adding similar services. For example, T-Mobile introduced "My Faves" in the fall of 2006.^{[citation needed]} MySpace is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music, and videos. ...

For Christmas 2007, Chad and his geeky competitors appeared as stop motion animation characters designed by Bent Image Lab.

Sponsorships

NASCAR

2007 car

• Alltel is the primary sponsor of the #12 Dodge Charger driven by Ryan Newman in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. [7]
  • This sponsorship was signed in 2000 under a contract between Alltel and Penske Racing. Greg Penske had joined the Board of Directors of Alltel and recommended the team switch from Herzog Racing to Penske Racing. On June 19, 2003, Alltel was banned from NASCAR sponsorship at the top level, but this current deal is grandfathered, due to the fact that Sprint Nextel agreed to sponsor NASCAR's top series. The firm may not change names, nor may they switch teams under agreement of this grandfather clause.
