Alltel vs. Verizon

Have you ever wondered which cell phone company is better and more affordable? A consumer review is a story that demonstrates a product, tells some characteristics of the product, and can compare two companies or products.

Alltel and Verizon are both cell phone companies that have a lot of differences.

Alltel has this program called MyCircle where you have the choose of adding any 5, 10, or 20 numbers to your cell phone plan. Verizon copied Alltel's MyCircle plan.

I would choose Alltel Wireless because I have it right now and I have never had Verizon Wireless company. Although I don't pay the cell phone bill, I think Alltel is better than Verizon. If I was paying the bill, I'd choose the individual plan because it would just be me on a plan, so that would be easier for me. I just got unlimited texting like a couple of weeks ago which costs $19.99 a month. That is why I would choose Alltel Wireless.
