As of June 5th., Alltel will be offering their usual rates for 2-year contracts on 1-year contracts instead. That’s a significant improvement in bang for buck across the board, and provides a lot of flexibility to end consumers. For those of us in Canada who still have to suck down a three year ball-and-chain for any kind of reasonable price, it’s pretty frustrating, but good on Alltel for raising the bar. If your contract’s up and you’re in the market for something new, flexible, and cheap, recent releases on Alltel include the Pearl Flip, the QA4 Evoke and the LG Banter.
