Alltel is in Florida, they are in Jacksonville and almost the complete west coast of Florida. Also they have towers in Gainesville, Tallahassee and the pan handle. I have never had any problems with the service anywhere in the US to include Hawaii. The 1X speed in not as slow as dial up it is 4 to 5 times faster than dial up with speeds for 1X of 100 to 200 kbs. EVDO is much faster. The trick is to have the correct PRL which right now for PPC670, 6800 and Touch is 30029 and could be changing soon. If you do not have this PRL your service may not work correctly.

As to the question of service in NJ, they are not up that far in the country yet. They have coverage with their own towers as far north in that area as Connecticut and growing. Maybe soon.
