I looked up this phone. Alltel is the carrier, however, as of 2016, it is defunct and will not function on that network. The brand is Samsung, not Alltel. I have a question for you, pollylock. What is the IMEI for the phone? Look under the battery in the phone or on the box it came in. It might be called one of these: ESN, HEX, DEC, or MEID. Thank you for listing this item.
