Talk:Alltel

Is there *really* a need to provide a listing of all those corporate subsidiaries? Most of them are quite obscure and are not recognizable to the average person. Perhaps that list should be moved to a separate article. – Swid ^{(talk | edits)} 18:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate these links as if Googling a subsidiary, this is one of the few places to find the connections.

"My Circle"

On April 21, 2006 Alltel launched a unique program called "My Circle".

I don't think this program is very unique - as it is simply MCI's old "Friends and Family" plan made for wireless networks. Anyone else agree? 70.106.220.156 19:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is unique, no other plan is currently available that is similar. Strunke 09:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)strunke[reply]

I think it should be struck. Regardless of whether it's unique, Wikipedia should not be used as a platform for promoting companies, selling services or promoting stock. That's what a company Web site is for. There is much more on this site that also should be struck. 19:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Subsidiary companies

I agree that the list of corporate subsidiaries is way too long. Corporate entries should not be advertisements is indeed an ad, it would seem. I vote to pull the list of subs off.

Advertising section

I'd like to see a section on their slogans and advertising campaigns. Their latest campaign featuring look-alike spokepeople for Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint is pretty entertaining. (And something they got in legal hot water for, too) --Navstar 03:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah! The commercials where the Alltel guy hangs out with the other brands' logos. That should be mentioned. loulou 00:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

206.82.89.114 - NPOV/Vandal

Would the person from 206.82.89.114 please stop adding NPOV bashing to the opening paragraph. Jonathan Auer 17:35, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate Equality Index

Should the result of 0% ALLTEL reciveed (the lowest in the study) in the 2004 Human rights campagin be added to the page?--Cosmoincarlow 15:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
