DENVER, April 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 70,000 former Alltel customers joining AT&T* will see a change as AT&T expands its service in Colorado.(1) AT&T has rebranded Alltel to AT&T and is introducing AT&T's exciting lineup of products and services to these customers.

"With this transition, AT&T has more than doubled our coverage area in Colorado. Numerous rural communities in the state will now have access to AT&T's 3G wireless network, enabling consumers and business to use wireless broadband," said Bill Soards, president of AT&T Colorado.

"We are focused on creating jobs and promoting economic development throughout Colorado. We applaud AT&T's investment in broadband deployment in Colorado, which will keep our state moving forward and help build stronger rural communities," said Kristin Russell, Colorado Secretary of Technology & CIO.

Since its acquisition of the Alltel wireless assets in Colorado, AT&T has invested significantly to transition the former Alltel network infrastructure to AT&T. Former Alltel customers across the state will now have access to the nation's fastest mobile broadband network and to AT&T's broad portfolio of mobile devices.

"We're thrilled to welcome former Alltel customers to the AT&T community, and we're confident that they will enjoy a fantastic wireless experience with AT&T," said Jace Barbin, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in the Rocky Mountain Region. "We've been working nonstop to upgrade the Alltel network. AT&T's network integration in Colorado expands the reach of our mobile broadband network across primarily rural areas of the state and demonstrates AT&T's ongoing commitment to bring the benefits of mobile broadband to as many Americans as possible.

"Today we're proud that customers in this area have access not only to the nation's fastest mobile broadband network but also to the broadest international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider — with voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in 200 countries."

The rebranding effort includes the former Alltel stores at:

  • 1185 S. Camino Del Rio, Suite 190, Durango, 81303
  • 142 West Rainbow Blvd., Salida, 81201
  • 215 Sligo St., Suite A, Cortez, 81321
  • 3312 Clark St., Alamosa, 81101
  • 730 Royal Gorge Blvd., Canon City, 81212

As part of the rebranding effort, the following authorized retailers will also offer AT&T products and services:

    • 6 Conley Rd., La Junta, 81050
    • 7865 West Hwy 50, Salida, 81201

Former Alltel consumer wireless customers in this area had the option to receive a brand new AT&T handset, comparable to their existing device, at no additional cost.(2) The vast majority of customers choosing free comparable devices are able to keep their existing rate plans, with no additional term commitment required.

Customers may also choose to upgrade their devices with a new two-year contract, an AT&T rate plan and any associated data plan.(3) Customers choosing an AT&T rate plan can enjoy Mobile to Any Mobile, which gives customers unlimited calling to any mobile number in the United States, and A-List with Rollover®, exclusive to AT&T, which offers unlimited calling to up to 10 additional numbers on any network and allows customers to keep their unused Anytime Minutes for up to 12 months.(4)

AT&T will transition service for former Alltel subscribers over the coming weeks and is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all customers. Prior to customers' transition dates, AT&T will communicate by text message and soundbite with customers the specific date and details of their transition to AT&T, and in the meantime, their existing devices will continue to work on the legacy Alltel network.

Customers with questions about the transition process may visit www.att.com/alltel, call (800) 331-0500 or speak with an AT&T sales representative at a local retail location.
