Regional U.S. wireless carrier, Alltel Corp., has announced a new roaming agreement with Sprint Nextel, allowing Alltel’s cellular data customers to access the web wirelessly in major cities throughout the United States.

The deal will allow anyone with an Alltel laptop card tap into Sprint’s EV-DO networks in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, Minneapolis, and Kansas City.

Alltel, which is in the process of being acquired by private equity investors, is aggressively expanding its presence in the mobile broadband market by signing new roaming agreements and extending its own EV-DO network coverage.

    1. This is not new news (unless there are newer details not published here)…they have had a reciprocal roaming agreement in place for a while. It also benefits Sprint by giving its users access to Alltel’s more rural coverage. Sprint is still the way to go with way more devices and tons of the faster Rev A coverage. You can even get the U720 USB modem free here: http://moremobileinternet.com/free-u720 which will work on any computer.
