Hi!
I got a problem:
Is there anyone out there that is good at getting businesses to donate services? :D My normally small Alltel Cell Phone Service bill is HUGE from being in the gulf coast. I usually talk about 250 minutes a month during daytime & less at night. BUT, during 15 days in gulf I racked up over 3,000 minutes!! And not for chit-chat reasons either. $650!! On day 3 of gulf tour I saw I was using alot of minutes so I did increase the bucket national plan I share w/ my dau to 3,000 but we (me) still used over 5,000 for the whole month. Yips!
I was given a toll-free # to call Alltel to request short-term donated service which I called once on the road somewhere between Beaumont, Tx & Lake Charles, La but I did not get a reply. I know they do donate service on occassion. BYW, Alltel service/reception is great, really. More at bottom....
Maybe you know someone who is good at this and can email a copy of this thread.
I did call Alltel this weekend and they did for me what they do for evacuees which is to subtract the overage ($400) & roam charges ($11). Very little roaming w/ Alltel throughout the whole US. It still is $250 w/ $52 in taxes.
I am not trying to gain financially from this volunteer project. I did have alot of expenses to go + no income from my normal job and still busy helping Livewire.fm and other pertaining to Katrina/Rita, and now possibly Wilma!
W/ Alltel in the past, I have traveled by car from Midwest to Cali and Dallas and always had good signal (except when in some mountains in Utah). I live in the country and signal good. I am surrounded my Nextel lovers and they do not get the signals I get & more expensive. I also could use my Alltel easily while in Gulf w/ numerous towers down except a patchy area between Cameron & Lake Charles.
I truly like and am happy w/ Alltel. But this current bill is hurting me.
Can anyone try to presuade Alltel to donate service to me for the near future? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer!
PM me if you have any ideas.
Sincerely,
Pam, Sparkie
