Mysteries and Omissions: Page Plus coverage area expands due to Verizon/Alltel merger


verizon wireless alltel When companies distribute a press release, it’s usually concise, with lots of info about the wondrous events and happenings of a company. Obfuscation isn’t usually in the agenda when writing them. Apparently, Page Plus uses a different technique.

This release informs people that Page Plus Cellular has “recently expanded its coverage area.”  Verizon and Alltel merged recently, and this benefits Page Plus cellular as its child network, so no more roaming charges in the expanded area, so good news for all.

What’s really weird about this release is: there’s no mention of Verizon and Alltel at all. Listen to this wording: the expansion is “due to a merger of unrelated carriers that was announced in June 2008 and finalized in January of this year.” In other words, Verizon and Alltel. It’s odd as a MVNO that these carriers were not mentioned at all.

As far as Page Plus goes, they now have coverage in the Central Plain states, which they did not have before. Good stuff, and more convenient for customers of all 3 carriers of prepaid cell phones.
