In October we went from grandfathered Alltel to another Alltel plan: FRIENDS & FAMILY10 S/P 500. Which includes 2 iPhones w/unlimited data (just on the phones themselves) and a 2GB 3g Mobile Hotspot. This plan may already have disappeared but you can check. Showing my DD-214 was all that was necessary to save 15% on the main phone line or $89.99 down to $76.49, and I believe would have gotten us free texting, except I already got that as part of the plan.
Only existing grandfathered Alltel plan customers were eligible to join this plan and it showed up nowhere on the Verizon literature in the store or online. The unlimited data on the iPhone is what got me to make the plunge as it wasn't available to Verizon iPhone plans, and was rumored to be 'going away' soon.
