How does Alltel prepaid service work?

[Legally Brunette]

OK, so I was thinking of getting a prepaid phone through Alltel b/c it has a really good deal and I love the phone. Anyway.. i wanted to know how does the like "$1 a day" (it makes me confused) thing work. and Where can you buy more minutes to refill it. Thanks in advance and I hope someone could help me!!!
Thanks!.. so you'd say it's good then??

Well I had this plan for 3 years and how it works is, it could cost you anywhere from 50 cents a day to 1.25 a day it all just depens on the extras that you put on your phone and if you get all of them it will be 1.25 which includes free text messaging, unlimited mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends, and one free number. Each extra feature costs a quarter a day. Get what i'm saying?

And to refill it you can either go into the alltel store and use money to buy more minutes, you just give your money to an alltel retail person and they put the mintues on there for you.

Or you can call 1-800-ALLTEL1 and use your credit or debit card and put any amount from $10 to $200 on your phone, and it automatically refills your minutes for you.

But if you use any feature that isn't in your daily plan it will cost you 10 cents every time you do it, or 10 cents a minutes.

But now they put tax on their minutes, like if you go in and give them $20 for your phone, it's actually going to cost more than that because as of not too long ago they started taxing each dollar but it wouldn't be anymore than 2 more dollars besides that.

It's not a bad deal though.

Good luck!
