Cell Phone Repeaters for Alltel

Alltel makes use of both 800 and 1900 MHz cellular bands in different areas. It is therefore necessary to determine exactly which frequency band is being used in your area in order to purchase an appropriate cellular repeater.

In some states, Alltel only makes use of the 800 MHz frequency band, therefore purchasing an 800 MHz repeater will always work correctly (for voice signals only, broadband data may be different). These states are listed below:

In all other states, Alltel varies between the 800 and 1900 MHz band depending on the area. Their EVDO broadband data service also make use of different frequencies in different areas. In order to find out which frequency band is being used in your area, please refer to the information below.

Wireless Advisor

The wireless advisor website will display the license information for your area. Visit Wireless Advisor and use your ZIP code to find out which frequency bands Alltel has licenses for in your area. Please note that the information shown on Wireless Advisor does not indicate what technology each frequency band is being used for (EVDO or simple voice), or whether the band is actually being utilized by the network; it only shows which frequencies each network is licensed to make use of. However, if Alltel only has licenses for one frequency band in your area, it is highly likely that the cellular service is run on that frequency.

Contact Alltel

Often the best way to find out which frequency Alltel is using your area is to contact an Alltel customer service representative (preferrably in a local office, if possible). You can visit the Alltel Contact Us page to find appropriate contact numbers.

Please note: Some customer service representatives are more informed than others. If your call is answered by someone who doesn't seem sure, or cannot specify the frequency usage in your area, you might try calling back again later or using one of the above resources to find out which frequency bands Alltel is utilizing in your area.
