RESOLUTION!!!!
I put in a trouble ticket with alltel tech support yesterday and today they called me to let me know that the area i'm in I use sprint towers and they have started something with their authentication process in the area to prevent cloning of phones. So basically the alltel rep just called the authentication group and had them force me in. Imagine my surprise when i was pouring over SID, NID, MNC, MCC codes and i receive an incoming phone call. Thank goodness im back in the 21st century with communication.
