Updating wireless devices on May 18th!

[Buehlar]

I just received the following text message from Alltel:

"FREE ALLTEL MSG:
Update your phone May 18:
Dial *228 + SEND, option 1, wait for msg,
turn phone off & on.
Visit alltel.com/systemupdates for more info."

I'm not sure what all the update will consist of but it will be "required" to continue services.

Here are the details from alltel's website:

*228 is normally used for activation and PRL updates but alltel usually just pushes the PRL updates.

I read from another post that it only changes the MIN due to the Verizon merger.
No PRL change, yet.
They must be updating in stages, location by location.
I'm in SE Mississippi.
