hey -
I have an ALLTEL HTC TOUCH ( i enjoy my phone and have never had any problems in the 18 months of use, except this recent 2016 text glitch ) - of course, Verizon has bought ALLTEL, so now I have a grandfathered " Alltel " rate plan ( which is MUCH CHEAPER ) with my ALLTEL device. I recently wanted to get a new Verizon phone and stay on my Alltel plan. They allowed me to do this but told me I cannot have all of the features available on the phone activated, since it is on an Alltel plan. I refuse to convert since it's $50 more a month for a comparable plan, but still LESS FEATURES than I currently pay for. I returned my new phone and had my old HTC TOUCH reactivated on my account. My main question is - are there ANY BENEFITS to my trying to " unlock " this HTC TOUCH device ? I don't plan to change carriers or rate plan anytime soon. My main issue is the internet/data seems to run VERY slow on this device....
thanks, and any input is appreciated !
