ATLANTA, Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting December 10, Georgia residents have even more places to find the best products and services to meet their wireless needs. AT&T¹has upgraded the former Alltel retail locations in the state and opened them under the AT&T brand.

AT&T wants everyone who walks through the door of an AT&T store to receive smart, friendly and fast service. In fact, J.D. Power recently awarded AT&T the "Highest Satisfaction with the Purchase Experience among Full-Service Wireless Providers, Three Times in a Row" in its 2014, Volume 2 study.²

Rebranding Alltel's retail stores is just the first step. AT&T has also upgraded the former Alltel network in Georgia to combine the strength of Alltel's local coverage with AT&T's 4G LTE network, the most reliable 4G LTE network in the nation, covering more than 300 million people.³

In early 2015, more than 100,000 former Alltel wireless customers in Georgia will begin using new devices that work on AT&T's network. AT&T will let customers know when it's time to activate their new devices.
